UOAMUSEUMS

From both the University's collection and the objects we have been loaned from the Gordon Highlanders, we have discovered a number of interesting objects... As well as learning about the objects, this experience taught us the importance of being flexible and able to come up with new solutions as problems arose during the exhibition process. Only a few weeks before installation was due to start, we discovered that our kilt could not be displayed in the way we had originally planned. This meant that a last-minute reshuffle of our layout had to happen. Luckily, we managed to come up with a new layout that everyone was happy with and that showed off the kilt well on its new mount... An insight into the everyday life of the University of Aberdeen's museums and collections
