Why does the Mitchell Library have a book of 19th century Persian paintings?
Look at a book of paintings of scenes from a 19th century Persian palace and learn about the paintings and life in the palace. Find out how they came to be in Glasgow and hear about other books donated to the Mitchell for the people of Glasgow.
13:15 – 14:30
Make a tiny game or animation
Create tiny games and animations featuring characters from the paintings against a depiction of the Mitchell in the style of Persian miniature paintings. These can be shared with friends and family or as videos and GIFs on social media. No experience needed – easy-to-follow instructions on how to arrange the instruction blocks will be provided on printed cards. Help will also be available to get rid of any glitches!
