This first exhibition highlights the ground breaking work of Joseph Lister, Rebecca Strong, William MacEwen and John MacIntyre as well as a fascinating insight into the history of the buildings of GRI from 1794 to the present day. You can also find a display dedicated to our GRI bees and our garden project.
The museum was opened by Mr David Geyer the great grandson of our first matron Rebecca Strong. The opening ceremony is available here. The opening was highlighted in the press: The Evening Times Article & STV Coverage.
