Poppies recall WW1 tragedy
The Next of Kin exhibition at Rozelle House has attracted more than 2460 people since opening in July.
The exhibition gives visitors an insight into how the First World War affected South Ayrshire and Scotland.
The latest activity was a poppy craft session which gave visitors the opportunity to learn how to knit, crochet and create poppies.
The scarlet poppy has a long association with Remembrance Day because poppies were one of the few plants to grow on the barren battlefields of northern France and Flanders in 1914.
Councillor Bill Grant said: “The Next of Kin exhibition is both inspiring and humbling and pays tribute to those people whose lives were affected by the First World War.
“Making the poppies was an amazing experience, although it was not as easy as it looked.
“I would encourage everyone to go along and see the exhibition. You will not be disappointed.”
The exhibition, which will run until September 28, includes items passed from generation to generation including letters, photographs, medals and memorial plaques.
It was previously on display at the National War Museum in Edinburgh Castle and is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the National Museum of Scotland and the Scottish Government.
Many related activities are taking place, such as an opportunity to trace family history back to WW1.
The exhibition is open from Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, Sunday noon to 5pm.
