Activities and Events at MUSA
MUSA is a great place for visits for people of all ages, with fascinating displays and hands on activities in each gallery, and a Viewing Terrace offering views over St Andrews Bay.
We also run a varied programme of activities in the Learning Loft and galleries - keep an eye out on this page for details of these activities, which range from gallery talks to family art and science sessions, and from storytelling to film nights.

Inspired by MUSA
A series of lunchtime talks inspired by the University’s collections
MUSA displays artefacts from across the University’s rich and unique collections. These talks provide a chance for you to come and examine parts of those collections in more detail, or to find out about related developments. Invited speakers will introduce their chosen objects or artworks, sharing their knowledge about and enthusiasm for them. We hope you will join us to be inspired. Time for questions will be included.
