Because Edinburgh holds some of my very favourite museums and galleries (and my birthday visit this week has been stolen by Covid) a short thread for day 14 of @profdanhicks #MuseumsUnlocked

I’d start all museum outings at @DovecotStudios if I could! It’s a place that celebrates making, pattern, colour, skill & heritage. You can watch the weavers at work from the balcony & understand the time & technique that goes into their work. #MuseumsUnlocked
Next stop for Edinburgh #MuseumsUnlocked is @StCeciliasHal which was recently (brilliantly) redeveloped. It’s filled with musical instruments, many of which are still played - sometimes while you walk through. The amazing hall dates to 1763 & still hosts performances today!
