About the exhibition
Mary, Queen of Scots is arguably one of the most enigmatic
figures in Scottish history. Her story arouses strong emotions: was
she betrayed by those she trusted, condemned to die a Catholic
martyr or was she a murdering adulteress with her husband’s blood
on her hands?
The exhibition will provide an opportunity to re-visit much that
has been written and speculated about Mary, one of the most
charismatic monarchs of all time. Taking a fresh, innovative
approach, using jewels, textiles, furniture, documents and
portraits, Mary’s dramatic story and this fascinating period in
Scottish history will be explored in detail.
Drawing together surviving relics intimately connected with Mary
Stewart and wider Renaissance material from public and private
collections, the exhibition will tell the incredible story of the
sovereign and the woman.
