Edinburgh World Heritage, Heritage Fund, and Making Lasting Impressions Greyfriars Kirkyard [Edinburgh, Scotland] Online Conference:
2021 (26 June) “Belief, burial, tombs and tourists: the past and future of Greyfriars Kirkyard’, hosted by the Edinburgh World Heritage, Heritage Fund, and Making Lasting Impressions Greyfriars Kirkyard [Edinburgh, Scotland]. Invite Speaker: ‘‘'Halt Passengers take head what thou dost see": Scottish Covenanter commemoration, Greyfriars, and its echoes today’, (20 min pre-recorded and live online presentation and question time).
Museum Exhibition:
2015 Exhibition: “Wunderkammer: The strange and the curious”:
11 July – 13 September 2015, University of Queensland Art Museum. Curated by Dolly MacKinnon, Emily Poor (Honours Student), and Michelle Helmrich organised to coincide with the Australian and New Zealand Association of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (ANZAMEMS) 10th Biennial Conference to be held at The University of Queensland (14–18 & 20 July 2015).
Wunderkammer is inspired by those eclectic collections of objects that first emerged in the late sixteenth century known as ‘Cabinets of curiosity’, which included natural marvels, religious relics, works of art, and antiquities, among other things. These objects were often gathered on expeditions and trading voyages, and reveal the fascinations and preoccupations of the Age of Discovery. Wunderkammern were intended to be a microcosm of the broader world and are acknowledged as Early Modern precursors to the contemporary museum. An exhibition in two parts, the first comprises objects that embody a Medieval or Early Modern (c. 600–1800) aesthetic. It includes scientific and medical instruments, religious paraphernalia, coins, illuminated manuscripts and contemporary artworks drawn from across The University of Queensland’s collections.
