For over 200 years, The Hunterian has stood at the heart of Glasgow’s cultural life.
Rooted in our origins as a teaching tool, we have long shaped minds, inspired critical inquiry, and cultivated creativity across generations.
The Hunterian is a bridge between the University and civic society, extending learning and discovery far beyond the campus gates and for everyone to enjoy. Our ambition is to further strengthen this role, transforming The Hunterian into a crossroads where academic and civic communities meet, collaborate and inspire one another.
Today, The Hunterian is more relevant than ever. Through our objects, spaces, and people we can create a ripple effect sparking new ways of thinking, igniting creativity and inspiring communities across the world.
Your support can safeguard our important collections and their histories through conservation and interpretation of our objects so they continue to inspire; empower young people to become the storytellers of tomorrow as the next generation of museum professionals and bring communities together to tell stories through displays and events, connecting us through our shared heritage.
