Macbeth: An Exhibition brings the story to life - from the real medieval king to the Shakespeare play that made him a household name.

Perthshire plays a central role in Shakespeare's story and the Kingdom of Alba ruled over by the man himself.

The exhibition will explore the connections between Macbeth the play, Macbeth the man, and the region for the first time.

Culture Perth and Kinross head of audiences and engagement Ashleigh Hibbins said: “We cannot wait to surprise and captivate visitors with this unique opportunity to dive into Macbeth the man, the play, and its cultural impact across the centuries.

“From Hollywood films to Broadway and West End shows, to classrooms around the world, Macbeth continues to resonate with us across the centuries.
