This exhibition reveals some beautiful art works from the museum’s collection, capturing the mood and tones of the coastline and seas surrounding Scotland. We invite you to delve into the smooth surfaces, pastel hues, melancholic skies and flat calm vibes of this collection of artwork, featuring a range of pieces - from epic oil paintings to more delicate watercolours and soothing sculpture reflecting on themes such as escape, community, home-coming, rest and recuperation.
