‘Coming Home’ Mobile Museum visits National Trust Scotland Culloden as part of the ‘Don’t Mention the War; How We Talk About Conflict in Museums’ conference.Keynote: Dr Jenny Kidd (University of Cardiff) / https://jennykidd.org More about the ‘Coming Home’ project: “Coming Home” is a travelling exhibition and events programme developed by High Life Highland (HLH) to commemorate the end of the First World War in the Highlands. Poignant individual experiences, explored through the documents, objects and photographs held in High Life Highland museums and archives and partner independent museums, are placed at the heart of the project. These individual narratives reflect the wider social and economic changes in the Highlands at the time.Lead Artist / Robyn Woolston http://robynwoolston.comLead Fabricator (Mobile Museum) / Tony Harris http://gtprojects.wixsite.com/homeMore about Culloden:https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/cullodenOn 16 April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head in one of the most harrowing battles in British history.Jacobite supporters, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland’s government troops. It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,500 men were slain – more than 1,000 of them Jacobites.Culloden Battlefield, Culloden Moor, IV2 5EU -- source link
