Exhibition: Renaissance: Scotland and Europe 1480-1630
National Library of Scotland
(Jun 2024-Apr 2025)
Learn about Renaissance-era Scotland, from astronomy to 16th-century music and colourful calligraphy. Explore how writers today use the Renaissance for inspiration, and how contemporary perspectives reveal fresh interpretations of the past. Immerse yourself in this period by creating an illuminated letter, adding your stitches to an embroidery, or dressing up as your Renaissance self.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
