We need to give numbers by Friday, to the East Lothian staff, so that appropriate arrangements can be made for our group. The tour will finish around 12 noon. The Museum is open until 1pm and this information is available about the current exhibitions, which there will be time to look at in more detail if members wish to do so.

What’s the Story?
This exhibition brings together 35 art works including paintings, photographs, drawings and prints held in the collection of East Lothian Council. The earliest piece in the show is a watercolour drawing of the late 1700s showing Haddington Town Officers on parade with fife and drum; one of the most recent is a composite piece responding to the East Lothian landscape during the 2020 Covid pandemic. The Friends of the John Gray Centre have worked alongside museum staff to present this varied and exciting show. Volunteers will be present in the gallery to chat to visitors about the art on display.
Thursday 13th February to Saturday 26th April 2025.
The Land, the Sea, the People
Our long term display explores objects, art, costume and oral histories from East Lothian with a short film introducing the Museum. There are hands on activities for families including postcards and dressing up clothes. The Talking Museum audio guide provides vivid descriptions with historical information and optional navigational guidance for the visually impaired. Explore the exhibition here.
