The National Library of Scotland’s next major exhibition will run from 21 June
2024 until 26 April 2025 and will explore the links between Scottish people, places
and objects and their counterparts in Europe.
The exhibition showcases items linked to the Scottish Court, literature, scholarship, faith, crafts, music and science. You can experience the Northern Renaissance through listening to contemporary sacred
and secular music
and to excerpts from prose and poetry in Scots, Gaelic, Latin
and French. Try some embroidery or calligraphy, or immerse yourself in historical
fiction or modern editions generously donated by the STS! Entry is free
