2007 Jacobite Virtuosi
Rome's importance as an artistic centre was undisputed throughout the eighteenth century. After the deposition of the Catholic James VII and II in 1688, he maintained a Court in Rome which attracted Jacobite followers. They became tourist guides, tutors in architecture and archaeology, architects, decorators, art-dealers and conoisseurs. Eminent amongst these virtuosi was a group of Scots, all with Jacobite connections.
2010 Connecting Collections
The University’s museum collections, as well as its collections of archives and rare books, includes items that might be linked, perhaps by a particular person or a place. Over the years, some of these links have been forgotten and items split between different collections. A project funded by the Museums Recognition Fund put all available information on a publicly accessible database and created a few examples of linked material.
