Exhibitions
We encourage established and emergent new talent to show work. Many displays are curated in-house drawing on the rich and varied museums collections. An active collector of contemporary works, the service also displays early examples of artistic significance.
Joint project events are also held throughout the Shire.
In addition, artwork, objects and photographs are toured to a number of our other museums and a range of travelling loan displays circulated. Cased exhibits are available on loan to schools and other bodies-some with accompanying activity sheets, notes and talks on request.
The Arbuthnot Museum houses Aberdeenshire’s largest Gallery space.
Recent examples of Arbuthnot Exhibitions are - ‘Children of the Tsunami ‘– featuring artwork by children affected by the Tsunami (courtesy of Stuart Noble), Sheila Mair retrospective works, marine paintings by Tommy Summers and Celtic illustrations by Alistair Bain.
Particularly notable displays have been our Museums and Galleries Month 2007 themed show and current Archaeology Month exhibition.
Please select your museum’s name and site location to find out what is happening in your area.
An example of one of our latest loan cases is ‘Egyptians’ which has proved popular with all ages.
