This is the main gallery and covers the themes of the Land, the Sea, Working Life and Community Life.
Museum nan Eilean has six of the famous chess pieces on loan from the British Museum.
Our online exhibition for the Between Islands project asks 'What do you think is the most unexpected thing about the islands?'
Air an Stairsich (On the Threshold) looks to the future as well as the past. The gallery also includes a small space for cèilidhs (gatherings).
