Histoire Des Collections Numismatiques Et Des Institutions Vouées À La Numismatique
HISTOIRE DES COLLECTIONS NUMISMATIQUES ET DES INSTITUTIONS VOUÉES À LA NUMISMATIQUE Numismatic Collections in Scotland Scotland is fortunate in possessing two major cabinets of international signifi- cance. In addition over 120 other institutions, from large civic museums to smaller provincial ones, hold collections of coins and medals of varying size and impor- tance. 1 The two main collections, the Hunterian held at the University of Glasgow, and the national collection, housed at the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, nicely complement each other. The former, based on the renowned late 18th centu- ry cabinet of Dr. William Hunter, contains an outstanding collection of Greek and Roman coins as well as important groups of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and later English, and Scottish issues along with a superb holding of medals. The National Museums of Scotland house the largest and most comprehensive group of Scottish coins and medals extant. Each collection now numbers approximately 70,000 speci- mens. The public numismatic collections from the rest of Scotland, though perhaps not so well known, are now recorded to some extent due to a National Audit of the coun- try’s cultural heritage held by museums and galleries carried out by the Scottish Museums Council in 2001 on behalf of the Scottish Government. 2 Coins and Medals was one of 20 collections types included in the questionnaire, asking for location, size and breakdown into badges, banknotes, coins, medals, tokens, and other. Over 12 million objects made up what was termed the Distributed National Collection, of which 3.3% consisted of approximately 68,000 coins and medals in the National Museums concentrated in Edinburgh and 345,000 in the non-nationals throughout the rest of the country. -

Museums Galleries Scotland
REF NO. HS/S5/19/SP/65 HEALTH AND SPORT COMMITTEE SOCIAL PRESCRIBING OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SPORT SUBMISSION FROM MUSEUMS GALLERIES SCOTLAND Introduction Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) is the National Development Body for the museum sector in Scotland. We work collaboratively to invest in and develop a sustainable museum and galleries sector for Scotland, in line with the aims of ‘Going Further: The National Strategy for Scotland’s Museums and Galleries’1. We work with a sector of over 400 museums and galleries, supporting and enabling them to meet their objectives through strategic investment, advice, advocacy and skills development opportunities. 1. To what extent does social prescribing for physical activity and sport increase sustained participation in physical activity and sport for health and wellbeing? MGS welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Committee’s Call for Views on social prescribing. This inquiry is an important acknowledgment of the potential of social prescribing to respond to health and wellbeing needs of people through alternative pathways to traditional clinical solutions. While the focus of the inquiry relates to physical activity and sport, MGS considers that – particularly in the absence of a cultural component taking place elsewhere – this review should be cognisant of the important contribution which cultural heritage and the work of Scotland’s museums sector could make to social prescribing as a practice. There have been interesting studies on individual social prescribing programmes and on the effectiveness of social prescribing in general and museums in particular2. These have suggested positive outcomes with respect to increasing or sustaining participation in cultural activities and attendance at cultural heritage sites such as museums3. -

Reinterpreting an English Medieval Painted Chest
Reinterpreting an English medieval painted chest Liz Hancock Lecturer, History of Art, School of Culture & Creative Arts, 8 University Gardens, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QH Email: [email protected] Lindsay Robertson Conservator of Furniture, Glasgow Life/Glasgow Museums, Burrell Collection, Pollok Country Park, 2060 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow G43 1AT Email: [email protected] Richard de Bury chest c.1340 A large oak chest in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, is associated with Richard de Bury (1281-1345) on the basis of painted shields of arms. A well-established provenance links it to the office of the Court of Chancery of the Palatinate of Durham, where de Bury was Bishop from 1334-1345. The chest was bought by William Burrell (1861-1958) in 1941 and came to Glasgow Museums in 1956 as part of the bequest of Burrell’s collection to the city. It is one of the few pieces in Burrell’s collection that had not been restored, possibly because it was bought directly from a private collector, unlike most of the furniture, which came through sale rooms or dealers. Examination in 1966 by the conservators of the Ministry of Public Building and Works revealed that the surface layers on the inner side of the lid were extremely friable with areas of loss and detached fragments.
