This temporary exhibition at NLS commemorated the 300th anniversary of the 1715 Jacobite uprising. It traced an absorbing tale of dynastic, political and religious wrangling; a story of power struggles within a network of royal families, fed by the allegiances of the time with the central figure being the ‘Old Pretender’ James Francis Edward Stuart.
As part of CMC's team my task was to work with the library’s curators and education group to produce all of the digital displays including an interactive family tree and timeline, audio character listening posts, a ‘jukebox’ of Gaelic and Hanoverian songs and an interactive 'Coded Letters' game which proved popular with younger visitors. The exhibition ended with a closing movie that introduced Prince Charles Edward Stuart, letting visitors know that the story is far from over.
