Imagined Norths - Curator's View

Imagined Norths - Curator's View
-

Curator, Sam Revell, takes you on a tour of the new exhibition in the Sir Duncan Rice Library Gallery as part of Book Week Scotland.

How did the North Sea's monsters go extinct?

Where have Scotland’s fairies gone?

What happened to the psychic powers of the Highlanders?

This display of items from the University of Aberdeen’s rare book and museum collections investigates myths, misconceptions and fantasies of ‘the North’, and how these have been dispelled or transformed. 

Join Sam as he navigates around mythical creatures and mysterious lands.
