Join us for a tour of our 'Renaissance: Scotland and Europe' exhibition, which delves into Scotland's rich cultural connections with Europe.
Every second Wednesday.
Note: This tour will not be running on 6 November due to the exhibition space being closed on this date.
Discover how Scotland and Europe mutually influenced each other in a period marked by extraordinary creativity and scientific breakthroughs. This era of cultural rebirth saw a lively exchange of knowledge, goods, and ideas. Scottish crafts, sciences, music, and learning flourished through these interactions.
On the tour, you'll see examples of Scottish scholars who published their works abroad and discover how international authors' works began to be printed in Scotland. You'll learn about the multilingual nature of the time, with many Scots speaking two or more languages and traveling extensively across Europe.
After the tour, engage with history hands-on by dressing up in Renaissance attire, creating your own illuminated letters, or contributing to our collaborative embroidery project. Learn more about the activities available in the exhibition space.
