Drawn from Historic Environment Scotland’s archive and other sources, the exhibition explores the international context that shaped the Mid-Century Modern architectural movement in Scotland. The exhibition looks at the ways in which Scottish architects were both influenced by and themselves influenced the international movement.
The exhibition also features images from North Lanarkshire Archives, exploring how the movement shaped the local landscape.
It’s a must see for anyone interested in Mid Century Modern architecture, photography and interior design which has an enduring appeal to this day.
