The museum offers<br/>an opportunity to step back into the Glasgow of 500 years ago and is one of only four surviving medieval<br/>buildings in the city.<br/>To celebrate its reopening, Provand’s Lordship will host a series of drop-in sessions, starting with a Haven<br/>for Nature event in its Herb Garden on 2, 3 and 4 April (1.30-4.00pm daily). The family-friendly sessions give<br/>visitors a chance to enjoy craft activities and find out what creatures live in and around the garden.<br/>The museum will also be home to Echoes of the Past events on 7 and 13 April (11.00am-4.00pm). The<br/>sessions are run by Living History Scotland and take visitors back in time to hear 16th century music and<br/>song from the court of James V and Mary Queen of Scots.<br/>Pose for Provand’s Portraits sessions will take place at Provand’s Lordship on 8, 9, 10, 11 and 14 April (1.30-<br/>4.00pm) to give people an opportunity to dress up in period costumes and take selfies while learning about<br/>the building’s history. A Scottish Stories for All event will also be held at the museum on 12 April (11.00-<br/>4.00pm).<br/>More information about other family-friendly activities at Provand’s Lordship can be found on the<br/>museum’s What’s on page on the Glasgow Life website.<br/>The work at Provand’s Lordship includes repairs to the building’s roof, chimneys, and downpipes.

The preservation of Provand’s Lordship helps to secure a sustainable future for<br/>one of our city’s most important cultural and historical buildings.”
