Extremes - until 5 October (National Museums Scotland)

Location: 3rd floor, National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street
Open: Daily, 10am-5pm until 5 October
FREE entry

This little gem of an exhibition examines the ways of the life of the Dene (or Tlicho) communities in sub-arctic Canada. The exhibition partly consists of historical material that was collected by Scottish fur traders in the mid-19th century, and partly of contemporary material purchased recently. But most striking are the stunningly beautiful large-scale photographs that set the scene for the exhibition.

An added (unintentional?) dimension to all this is the smell of smoked hide through the real leather that is also on display (and for touching!)
