900 years of Edinburgh's historic treasures celebrated in exhibition
A new online exhibition launched by the City of Edinburgh Council's Museums & Galleries, Libraries and Archives services has brought together 900 years of objects relating to Edinburgh.
From Greyfriars Bobby's collar to the National Covenant, visitors to a digital exhibition can see all kinds of fantastic objects and artworks and find out more about their stories.
Edinburgh 900: Objects from Nine Centuries of City Life is hosted on the Capital Collections website. It showcases not only some of the treasures viewable in museum and gallery venues around the city, but also many items that have never been fully shared with the public before.
The items include a 19th century record of petty criminals, a rare Hearts and Hibs football programme, beautiful contemporary silver and ceramics and historic documents from as early as the 12th century.
The exhibition launched on Friday, May 23 with the first 20 objects, with new objects being released each month between May and September, when the City's Edinburgh 900 celebrations officially conclude.
