# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The House, The Highlands and the Great Big Sea Exhibit Opening
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: The House, The Highlands and the Great Big Sea is made up of a selection of works by Scottish artists that portray scenes of life within and without the country of Scotland– men and women, children and grandparents, working, playing, traveling or reposing. Scenes of domestic life are flanked by scenes of the countryside, both of which are contrasted with images portraying the vast ocean and the overseas destinations visited by the artists. Whether they are images of childhood mischief like John Burr’s "Domestic Trouble" or realist scenes of the new world of work like Tomson Laing’s "Gathering Seaweed," the pieces are evidence of not only the popularity of Scottish subjects among 19th century art-lovers but of the technical and thematic breadth of Scottish artists.

You can see this magnificent exhibit starting March 5th through August 30th.

This exhibition is a William King Museum of Art original exhibition and is part of the museum’s McGlothlin Exhibition Series. It is generously sponsored by Dunburn Farms. A special thank you to our Annual Sponsors: Ballad Health Johnston Memorial Hospital and BurWil Construction Company.
