The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the University of Stirling on its art collection being recognised as a Collection of National Significance through Scotland’s Recognition Scheme, which is managed by Museums Galleries Scotland; understands that the scheme highlights collections of outstanding importance held beyond the national museums and galleries; recognises that the university’s internationally acclaimed collection comprises more than 800 artworks, with a particular focus on Scottish contemporary art, reflecting a longstanding commitment to embedding art and culture into everyday life; considers this to be a prestigious accolade, which places the university among a select group of nationally recognised collections across Scotland; commends the university’s collections staff on their work in caring for, developing and promoting the collection, which has helped secure this accolade; recognises the collection’s important role in supporting teaching, research, learning and public engagement, and acknowledges its contribution to Scotland’s cultural heritage through its commitment to accessibility, creativity and community engagement.
