Join us for a tour of the 'Renaissance: Scotland and Europe' exhibition, which delves into Scotland's rich cultural connections with Europe.
About this Event

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, with Scottish crafts, sciences, music, and learning flourishing through these dynamic interactions.

On the tour, you'll learn about the multilingual nature of the time, with many Scots speaking two or more languages and traveling extensively across Europe. You'll see examples of Scottish scholars who published their works abroad and discover how international authors' works began to be printed in Scotland.

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.
