The tartan history exhibit

I also discovered that the V&A Dundee Museum's tartan exhibition was (or, hopefully, still IS) traveling internationally.
Of course, the current state of affairs in the US might make stops here dangerous. If the exhibit were to attract sufficient attention, our current chief executive would proclaim that it's "fake history," because after all, HE invented tartan—the only difference from the 'fakes' being that it can't bear his surname in its appellation unless woven with golden threads
