The Friends of Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums provide vital support for our work, helping us to acquire works by leading artists and makers and objects connected to Aberdeen’s heritage, as well as commissions, conservation and family activities.
Come along to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Art Gallery in this special weekend of activity supported by the Friends. Explore the collection with our free family trail, learn how to create colourful decorations or join us for a special winter wander topped off with seasonal treats.
Pick up our free Family Trail which is available from the Welcome Desk.
