Sandy Wood, RSA’s Head of Collections says: 

‘We are delighted to be presenting William Gillies: Modernism and Nation, a touring exhibition from the Royal Scottish Academy, which repositions the life and art of one of Scotland’s most influential modern masters. Gillies loved travelling in Scotland to sketch and paint and so it is fitting to his legacy that this exhibition is touring around the mainland and to the Scottish islands; giving audiences around the country the opportunity to discover a new story about one of our great artists.”

This image depicts a dark wooden cabinet with a variety of unusual and intriguing objects displayed on its shelves. The title "CABINET of CURIOSITIES" is prominently shown to the left, along with the text "An exhibition of curious objects from the South Ayrshire collection." The cabinet contains objects such as a taxidermied bird, a wooden sculpture of a strange, open-mouthed creature, an old-fashioned deep-sea diving helmet, a painting of a sailing ship, and a small model ship. A single hanging lamp with a warm glow illuminates the scene. The overall tone is mysterious and vintage, evoking a sense of historical discovery.
