MAC -Fife's Mobile Museum
MAC has been on the road since 1996, taking Fife Council's art and museum collections out to the people.
MAC visits schools and any kind of community venue or event and is a FREE SERVICE! We want MAC to be for everyone and making our exhibitions accessible and relevant is an important aim for the Interpretation Team. Interactive elements and hands-on activities are designed to appeal to all ages and abilities and contribute to a positive and enjoyable learning experience.
Previous exhibitions have covered diverse themes such as mining communities,Victorians, recycling and World War 2.
Current exhibition
Making Spaces opened in Spring 2008. It is an exciting collaboration between Fife Council Museums and FCAC (Fife Contemporary Art & Craft), exploring the different working spaces used by artists past and present. The project incorporates a travelling artist in residence on the tour (further information below), giving people the opportunity to meet and work with a practising artist/maker.
For school visits, teachers will find opportunities for cross-curriculum links with special focus on the Expressive Arts. In terms of specific aims related to Art & Design:
'develop knowledge of techniques processes and skills'
'enjoy and appreciate their own art and that of others and to become aware of the influence of place, time, culture and material on the images and objects invented and created by artists, designers and craftspeople'
