Scotland’s noisiest museum continues to get even noisier with the second season of “Music in the Museum”, produced by North Lanarkshire Council’s arts development team. From “pop-up opera” to indie rock bands, there’s a different musical event to experience each month in the unique surroundings of North Lanarkshire’s museums!  

World-Class Music without Financial Barriers 

… and we mean it! We want everyone to be able to access these events. Music in the Museum events are priced at £5* and ALL of our events have been set up with a limited number of free tickets to be made available to anyone who faces a financial barrier with a North Lanarkshire postcode, no questions asked. 

*Scottish Opera Pop-Up opera is priced differently, but you can still request a free ticket.

Scottish Opera Presents: Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals

Saturday 14 June, 3pm

Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life

A tale of the five waterways that link Scotland from the North Sea to the Atlantic. Like most families, each one is different: Caledonian – the longest; Crinan – the most beautiful; Monklands – hard-working; Union – the fastest; Forth & Clyde – the wise. Each one thinks they’re the best. Can an ordinary little puffer boat make them think again?

This is a performance by Scottish Opera’s world-class musicians and opera singers.

This event is not ticketed – come along and enjoy!

Set in the unique surroundings of Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, both 30 minute operas are being presented as a “Double Bill”!
