A new exhibition curated by this year’s Museum Studies students at the 51cg’s King’s Museum will explore the local heritage of north East Scotland through interpretation of themes highlighted in Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Sunset Song.

The Land Endures: Bringing Sunset Song to Life follows the stories of the main characters of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s iconic novel and explores realities of early 20^th century North East Scotland.

Objects from the 51cg Museums collections are used to link the fictional Kinraddie with historic North East Scotland and musical compositions by local artist Paul Anderson enhance the atmosphere, bringing Sunset Song to life.
