Settle into the museum’s original 1900s Picture House for a screening of Five Fables - medieval Scots tales translated by Seamus Heaney and brought to life as enchanting animations for all ages.

Originally commissioned for the BBC by the Ulster Scots Broadcast Fund, these animated films are narrated by acclaimed comedian and actor Billy Connolly, with a specially composed score by internationally renowned pianist Barry Douglas.

A rare chance to enjoy these magical tales in a truly historic cinema setting.
