To sum up my week I’ve had a fantastic experience and I have learnt so much over the small period of time I spent with Collections Management. Everyone has been extremely welcoming and lovely to work with. I have many favourite parts of the week but the bit I enjoyed the most has to be my day down at the National Collection Centre in Granton. I loved being able to see some of the artefacts in the stores and being able to take pictures of some of the objects. I appreciate all that National Museums Scotland has done for letting me take this work experience placement, thank you all so much!
