Special Exhibition
Audubon’s Birds of America
A major new exhibition will examine the artistry and legacy of one of the world’s rarest, most coveted and biggest books.
Published as a series between 1827 and 1838, Birds of America by John James Audubon (1785-1851) was a landmark work which achieved international renown due to the epic scale of the project and the book’s spectacular, life-sized ornithological illustrations.
Audubon’s Birds of America is a touring exhibition from National Museums Scotland and will showcase 46 prints from their collection. Rarely displayed unbound, this exhibition will be a unique opportunity to see so much of Audubon’s work in one place.
