Jackie Kay and Hollie McNish at Glasgow Women's Library

National Poet for Scotland Jackie Kay takes fellow poet Hollie McNish along to Glasgow Women's Library, where they delve into a rich collection of artefacts, artwork and materials tracing women's history through the ages. Inside they talk to staff about the origins of the library and discuss issues of women's representation across society, education and the arts, while also reflecting on the important role that public art and literature plays in shaping the way we see ourselves.

Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe.Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the National Art Pass – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country. The podcast is produced by Whistledown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
