Tuesday 12th June - Optional Activity
Glasgow University Hunterian Exhibitions
There are three exhibitions scheduled during this day, which colleagues or spouses/partners may find of interest for a short visit.
Entrance is Free. More details may be found via the University website.
1) Scotland's Own Coinage (Hunterian Museum)
Scotland struck its own coins for hundreds of years before British coinage was established in 1707. From nobles, lions, unicorns, ryals and testoons to merks, dollars, bawbees, groats and placks, Scotland's Own Coinage features a spectacular variety of gold, silver and base metal coinage to explore.
2) The Philosophy Chamber (Hunterian Art Gallery)
Created in partnership with Harvard Art Museums, this major exhibition reunites the unrivalled collection which played a vital role in teaching and research at Harvard, providing an invaluable window into the art and culture of early America.
3) Ulrike Ottinger - Filmmaker and Artist (Hunterian Art Gallery)
This solo exhibition profiles the influential filmmaker and artist Ulrike Ottinger, whose work has rarely been exhibited in the UK.
Still Moving features a range of Ottinger's photographic prints and some short film works.
