Remains of Past Lives
Two artists explore the abandoned crofts of the Dava, inside and out. Photographer Lynn Robinson and painter Charles Fletcher both found inspiration form the croft buildings and the remnants left behind by people that once lived there. We bring these two bodies of fascinating work together in a joint exhibition.

1 July - 31 Oct 2019
"Canadian Cousins" Exhibition
A captivating insight into the intrepid and pioneering Highlanders who shaped the making of Canada.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people from Strathspey and its surrounding area left for the New World. In North America these pioneers, empire builders and visionaries would dominate the expanding fur trade. Why did they go, and why were they so influential in the growth of the young nation of Canada? The answers reveal a hidden story of emigration, exploration and exploitation.
There will be a private viewing on the evening 29 June for museum members.
