This exhibition has closed

It closed on 14 September 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at National Museum of Scotland: Scotland's First Warriors.

Visiting National Museum of Scotland

Life-size sculptures, skeletons and fossils of large animals that lived after the dinosaurs, including a megalodon shark, a giant snake and a woolly mammoth, produced by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
