Improvement and Scotland is an online exhibition focussing on the Hunterian's holdings of 18th and early-19th century Scottish art. Linking this material with literary texts of the same period, Hunterian Associate and Glasgow PhD researcher Gerard McKeever narrates the challenges set to Scottish national identity by early processes of modernisation. Part of the Hunterian Associates Programme for 2013, the video also aims to explore the significance of the Hunterian's status as an 'Enlightenment Collection'.
