To follow the Delhi handover of the Commonwealth Games flag to Glasgow, Saturday 16 October has been designated World Cultures Day at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in Nitshill on the Southside of the city.
Running from 10am till 5pm the FREE event will feature sessions in traditional dance from visiting artistes from Ghana and India. There will be the chance to go on a special tour of the city’s internationally renowned World Cultures collection which is kept safely at the Resource Centre when the thousands of items are not on show.
Booking in advance to have a dance session is advised. There will be, in addition, plenty of drop-in activities for young and not so young people.
The museum experts who run the Resource Centre will offer workships in world crafts, including Mehndi and shots on their Wii POD. The South West Area Play Team will be providing an under-5s play area too.
To find out more, or to book a dance session, phone the Resource Centre on 0141 276 9300 or email GMRCbookings@glasgowlife.org.uk
