A huge thank you to local film-makers JJ Jamieson and Liz Musser for capturing the exhibition so beautifully - it is an iconic display and an important part of Shetland's social history so we are delighted to have recorded it in this way.

Thank you to BBC Radio Shetland for allowing us to include sound bites from an interview between Chris Morphet and Jane Moncrieff in this short film.

The exhibition closes on Sunday 2nd February - don't miss it!
