- **Event Description**: Perspectives: Collecting the World 24 January - 20 April 2026

Join us on a journey around the globe exploring how the story of Angus has been shaped by our relationship with the world.
Marvel at objects collected from almost every continent including iconic samurai armour, a beautifully embellished wall panel from the Imperial Palace in China, hand-crafted Fijian war clubs and the manuscripts of explorer and diplomat Alexander Burnes who almost, but not quite, changed the course of world history… These objects not only unlock rich stories of Angus people who travelled all over the world but also the impact they had on the people, cultures and ways of life they encountered as they did so.

This is a new chance to see our evolving Perspectives exhibition which unlocks the story of Angus and Empire. Artworks by creative practitioners Kelly Zou, Renuka Ramanujam and Sean Wai Keung are now on show. Visit us to see how they have diversified and challenged our curatorial voice.

Be part of our conversation to re-discover history by exploring the legacies of Empire and colonialism in our museum collections, our towns, and in our national identity. Question, learn and grow by exploring this forgotten aspect of our shared history.

A huge thank you to Museums Galleries Scotland for funding this project to delve into the Angus World Cultures collection.
