Fans of Paisley Museum are invited to learn more about the ongoing transformation of the cultural destination.

Members of Paisley & District U3A (University of the Third Age) will hear from guest speaker Kirsty Devine as she outlines the latest developments at the campus.

The director of the Paisley Museum Re-Imagined project said: "It's our ambition to create a world-class museum space.

"We can't do that alone though and we have been working with a wide range of communities - locally and globally - over the past six years to help reimagine and redefine the museum and our collections.

"I'm delighted to come and talk to u3a about this work in preparation for reopening in 2024."

Kathy O'Donnell, chair of Paisley & District U3A, said: "Some people may have seen a model of the new museum on display in OneRen's Lagoon Leisure Centre. It looks impressive.

"So, too, is the fact that Paisley Museum Re-Imagined is Scotland's largest cultural heritage project. 

"Our members will be interested in what suggestions have been put forward for its use. We might offer a few ideas."

The free event takes place at the Salvation Army Hall in Mill Street, Paisley, at 2pm on Thursday, May 4.
