Photography : A Victorian Sensation
Father’s Day at the Museum
Learn how to produce a Zine
Edinburgh International Film Festival 2015
Wester Hailes Fun Run 2015
A major exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland will explore the Victorian craze for photography and examine how it has influenced the way we capture and share images today, when more photographs are taken in two minutes than were taken in the whole of the 19th century.
Photography: A Victorian Sensation will take visitors back to the very beginnings of photography in 1839, tracing its evolution from a scientific art practised by a few wealthy individuals to a widely available global phenomenon, practised on an industrial scale.

Glasgow Women’s Library invites you to attend a workshop about zines and zine-making. Zines are small self-made publications and can be about anything – from what you did last week, the music or art you like or your personal, political and social life. Come along and explore fanzines from our unique collection, learn about how they are made and even make your own.
Part of In Their Own Write – Women and Words brought to you by Glasgow Women’s Library, Edinburgh City libraries and the Bonnie Fechters women’s group.
