    Fair Game, ongoing

    A major online exhibition from Shetland Museum and Archives, part of their Between Islands project. Each museum in the group has approached the project theme creatively and used it to produce their own online exhibition which is inspired by each other’s history and collections.

    The Shetland exhibition examines three customs that are nowadays seen by some as ‘politically incorrect’: hunting seabirds and eggs, whaling, and harvesting peat. Museum nan Eilean in the Hebrides focuses on unexpected aspects of island culture highlighting some misconceptions about life on the island groups, looking at designers, living traditions and explores the inspiration and legacy of the islands in arts, crafts and literature.
