Museums - events and exhibitions
We create temporary exhibitions to give our communities access to a variety of aspects of their history and culture. Our temporary exhibition programme runs at Blackridge , Broxburn and Whitburn Community Museums alongside the permanent displays.
Many exhibitions also tour to Armadale and Linlithgow Libraries when the display cases there are not required for community use.
See below for details of our current programme. You can also download tasters of some of our exhibitions old and new.
