Display boards featuring key highlights from each of 30 years of West Lothian Council, as well as the story of local government in Scotland, are now in the reception area of the Civic Centre.
These include key milestones from the creation of the council in 1996 following local government reorganisation though to the present day.
These include: bringing public services together with the opening of the West Lothian Civic Centre in 2009; accreditation as a Living Wage employer for ensuring all staff are paid a fair wage in 2016; and the completion of the Winchburgh School Campus project to deliver three new schools in 2023.
Leader of West Lothian Council Lawrence Fitzpatrick and Provost Cathy Muldoon were among the first visitors to the new exhibition.
Council Leader Fitzpatrick said: "West Lothian has changed a great deal in the last 30 years, and this exhibition shows how West Lothian, the council and our communities have developed and changed since 1996.
"Thanks to everyone who has been involved in creating such an informative free exhibition."
Provost Muldoon added: "It was really interesting to see all the important milestones for West Lothian over the last 30 years charted in this exhibition.
"It's a fascinating snapshot of our area's recent history and I hope local residents will take the chance to see the display boards while they can."
Visitors are welcome to attend the fascinating exhibition, which has been produced by the council's Museums and Archives Service, between 8.30am and 5pm Monday to Thursday or 8.30am to 4pm on Fridays, which runs until 31 December 2026.
