About Member Preview Day: Curator Talks

Join our exhibition curator for an exclusive Member talk on our newest exhibition, Roman Scotland: Life on the Edge of Empire.

Our exhibition curator will share their in-depth knowledge of highlight objects. This will include two spectacular altars from the fort's Mithraeum (a temple to the god Mithras).

They will also consider key questions raised by the exhibition and its key objects, such as how local groups dealt with the invasion.
