Kilmartin Museum: a Place of Ceremony
Kilmartin Museum brings to life the story of the internationally significant Kilmartin Glen – one of the UK's most important archaeological landscapes. The museum captures the Glen’s unique sense of place, taking visitors on a journey back in time over 10,000 years.
A Place of Ceremony is a captivating film that immerses visitors in the world of the Neolithic people, exploring their profound spiritual relationship with sound and ritual. Inspired by the powerful objects these early inhabitants left behind, the monuments they created, and the landscape they shaped, this story is brought vividly to life. In collaboration with award-winning composer Pippa Murphy, this remarkable history is transformed into an unforgettable experience.
A gateway to the spirit world
Neolithic people put far greater importance on the sound world than we do today. Each sound may have had significance and a power beyond the physical thing that was responsible for producing the sound. Sound may have been the gateway to the spirit world.
