The Tain & District Museum, part of the larger Tain Through Time centre, is located in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, and opened in 1966,〔http://www.tain.org.uk/tain-through-time-g.asp The Tain Community Website〕 the 900th anniversary of Tain's charter.〔http://www.ambaile.org.uk/en/item/item_writtenword.jsp?item_id=21366 "Tain's charter of 1529, is preserved in Highland Council archives"〕 Rosemary Mackenzie, the museum's first curator,〔http://clanross.org/index.php?id=02_History_and_Ancestry/06_Tain_Museum.php The beginnings of Tain & District Museum, Clan Ross website〕 was particularly interested in the town's history and had for years been collecting items of local interest, especially after the re-organisation of local government in 1975 when much valuable material might have been re-located away from Tain. The growing collection was held in what had been the caretaker's cottage〔http://www.cali.co.uk/highexp/tain.asp "The museum is centred in the Caretakers Cottage", Scottish Provincial Press (Tain) webpage〕 of the Old Collegiate Church,〔http://www.archhighland.org.uk/news.asp?newsid=54 Tain & District Museum Precinct, Archeology for Communities in the Highlands website〕 built in the 1880s. Perhaps the most important and certainly the rarest items are the C18 and C19 examples of Tain silver.〔http://scottishprovincialsilver.com/acatalog/Tain_Silver.html Examples of Tain Silver, Scottish Provincial Silver website, Tain Silver webpage〕〔http://www.leopardantiques.com/object/stock/detail/70 Rare Tain Silver, Leopard Antiques website〕〔http://www.ross-shirejournal.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/3673/Tain%27s_silver_comes_home.html The Hugh Ross Tain silver comes home, Ross-Shire Journal, 4 April 2008〕 In 1997 Tain silver was the subject of the first exhibition mounted by the museum and included not only examples from the Museum's own collection but also items from individual and corporate owners including one from the Royal Collection at Windsor. This example of Tain Silverwork was exhibited in the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow in 1938. ==Tain Through Time== The Tain & District Museum forms one part of the larger visitor centre on the site, the whole of which is called Tain Through Time. Tain Through Time also includes an old schoolhouse, now called The Pilgrimage, with a gallery illustrating King James IV pilgrimages to Tain as well as housing a shop and office. Also on the Tain Through Time site is the Collegiate Church〔http://www.archhighland.org.uk/news.asp?newsid=54 Tain Collegiate Church, Archeology for communities in the Highlands〕 whose status was confirmed by Papal bull from Innocent VIII〔http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/00401/6AA431B7873E042EE7687ED3036AAC27BAA49C0C.html Papal Bull from Innocent VIII, europeana, Think Culture, explore digital contents of Europe's museums & galleries〕 issued in 1492. The Tain & District Museum is staffed by local volunteers whose teamwork, enthusiasm and dedication was recognised by the Glasgow Herald newspaper.〔http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/museum-wins-historic-acclaim-1.315130 An early award given by Scottish-Hydro to Tain & District Museum, Commended by The Herald Newspaper, the Herald article〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tain & District Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
