Pupils from Gallowhill and St Catherine's primary schools were among the Renfrewshire residents who toured the Travelling Gallery as it visited the town.

The contemporary gallery-in-a-bus featured its latest exhibition, In Another Realm. It stopped off as part of a partnership with Paisley Museum and Ferguslie-based arts organisation Sculpture House Collective.

Inspired by science fiction’s engagement with the environment, it explores ideas around the climate crisis by showing a possible future landscape without humans.

And the mostly 3D models really got visitors thinking.

Neil Bristow, public programme manager at Paisley Museum, said: “It was an impactful way to get everyone thinking about the importance of tackling climate change. It really struck a chord with all who visited.”
