@Aimuseums We are situated in the heart of the Outdoor Capital of the UK in Fort William with lots of furry visitors, so are definitely dog friendly! 🐶

Dogs in museums - do you welcome them? Or not? We're really keen to understand how AIM members came to a policy on this - and any advice for other members deciding what to do! 📸: AIM team member Bertie outside Nidderdale Museum
