Students in the University of Edinburgh’s MScR Collections and Curating Practices programme have worked with the Travelling Gallery and the University of Edinburgh's Art Collection to curate an exhibition about art collections and place. The University of Edinburgh’s Art Collection holds over 8,000 artworks collected over 400 years but does not have a permanent exhibition space in which to show them. In this short exhibition the Travelling Gallery will show works selected by the students.
