From These Parts: Scotland, Art and Identity

Saturday 18 October 2025 – Sunday 15 February 2026

What makes a nation?

Its landscapes, cultures and traditions.
Its languages, peoples and histories.

Scotland has its own unique place in the world. It is a nation that is constantly changing
and being changed by its people on a local and global stage.

Scotland’s art explores, expresses and embodies this change.

The exhibition is free.
