Young Curators at Stromness Museum

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of young curators from Dounby Community School, who have worked on the Mineral Minds exhibition at Stromness Museum; notes that the exhibition celebrates the life and work of Orkney geologists, including Hoy-born and raised Matthew Forster Heddle, who, it understands, is considered Scotland’s greatest ever mineralogist; understands that the young people of Dounby School’s P6/7 class worked together with Stromness Museum on everything from the design of museum displays to the greeting cards sold in the gift shop; recognises that the young curators provided their own geological finds to be displayed alongside the museum’s existing collection; thanks the Orkney creatives, including designer Kirsteen Stewart and jeweller Sheila Fleet, who helped enable the young people’s work on the exhibition, and pays tribute to the hard work of Stromness Museum and the young Dounby curators in bringing this exhibition together.
