Join Mary Queen of Scots experts from all over Scotland at this online event, exploring the nation's most important collections of objects related to the Scottish monarch. Complementing our major exhibition The Afterlife of Mary Queen of Scots, colleagues will explore objects dating from Mary’s own time to depictions of Mary across the centuries. The objects tell their own tales and reveal a great deal about the way Mary's story has been used across the centuries to approach broader issues such as gender, sexuality, power, monarchy and diversity.
