You can now experience collections from across Scotland’s islands by visiting online museums as part of the Between Islands Project.

Tales of the Unexpected the Museum & Tasglann nan Eilean’s exhibition for the Between Islands Project.

Orkney’s exhibition can be found here 

Shetland’s here. 

The overall theme of the project was to highlight historical links between the islands, whilst exploring and celebrating modern-day similarities and differences across the three island groups. Each museum has approached the project theme creatively and used it to produce their own exhibition which is inspired by each other’s collections.
