MUSA is an exciting and dynamic space to visit with the whole family. There are four galleries for you to discover:
The University of St Andrews was founded between 1410-1414.??Gallery 1showcases some of the University’s ancient treasures, including our famous medieval maces ‘ the Arts, Canon Law and??St Salvator’s mace– and helps you to discover both the early history of the University and the town of St Andrews.
There is something for everyone in??Gallery 2‘ whether you are a student, a staff member or a visitor who is completely new to the University. In this gallery we look at the lives of St Andrews students through the ages ‘ what has changed and what has stayed the same? We feature a fascinating collection of??silver archery medals, some won by very famous Scots in the 17th??and 18th??centuries. There are lots of things to do (and games to play) and some quirky memorabilia.
On entering??Gallery 3, you are greeted by the spectacular Chalmers stained glass window??originally mounted in St Salvators Chapel. In this gallery we look at research and innovation from the view point of the three main teaching and research areas at the University ‘ divinity, the arts and the sciences. Find out how the Victorians invented 3D photography and experiment with making your own kaleidoscope.
From 14 January – 30th October 2016,??Gallery 4??will??host a temporary exhibition, ‘One World: Exploring Cultures Across Continents’.
