Medieval Maces: Power & Ceremony

  • 7 September — 8 December 2013 *on now

Maces are emblems of authority, status, wealth and power. To mark the University of St Andrews’ 600th anniversary this exhibition brings together 14th and 15th century university maces from Heidelberg, Tübingen, Basel and Glasgow, and the crozier of Bishop Fox, founder of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

Marvel at the beauty and intricacy of the design and craftsmanship. Witness the iconic power of these great symbols of university authority. Wonder, too, at the University’s own three medieval maces, before which generations of students have stood, and which have been in ceremonial use for almost 600 years.

Suitable for

  • Any age
