Dùthchas is an immersive film gallery that lets you experience the changing landscapes across the Outer Hebrides from moorland, to machair, to croft, to seascapes.
This gallery focuses on the people of the islands in photographs, video and audio.
This is the main gallery and covers the themes of the Land, the Sea, Working Life and Community Life.
Air an Stairsich (On the Threshold) looks to the future as well as the past. The gallery also includes a small space for cèilidhs (gatherings).
Our online exhibition for the Between Islands project asks 'What do you think is the most unexpected thing about the islands?'
