Description

Experience the Renaissance, an era of cultural rebirth and innovation. Scotland engaged in lively exchanges of knowledge, goods and ideas with Europe, enriching its crafts, sciences and music. Learn about Renaissance-era Scotland, from astronomy to 16th-century music and colourful calligraphy. Immerse yourself in this period by creating an illuminated letter, adding your stitches to an embroidery, or dressing up as your Renaissance self. Explore how writers today use the Renaissance for inspiration, and how contemporary perspectives reveal fresh interpretations of the past.
