What to expect from the new V&A Dundee tartan exhibition
More than any food, drink or cultural icon, tartan is the globally recognisable symbol of Scotland. At once traditional and a emblem of ancient rebellion, it has also served that dual purpose for more contemporary designers and refuseniks. From haute couture to tourist nik-naks, it has been all things to all people, certainly since the advent of Romanticism in the eighteenth-century. Now the first exhibition for 30 years to look solely at tartan is opening at V&A Dundee on April 1 and runs until January 2024.
