    Our first talk will take a personal look at James Shearer RSA architect of the Museum’s Memorial Hall, the Fire Station Creative and an extension of the Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries.

     

    All three of these buildings are hosting exhibitions to celebrate the RSA’s 200th birthday. We think it will be a brilliant starting point to hear about an architect who has shaped our city’s landscape. Ian Shearer, a descendant of James Shearer will lead the talk sharing a personal view of this industrious man.

    Founded in 1928, the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum tells the story of how Carnegie went for humble beginnings to the richest man in the world, and gave it all away.  Featuring the original weavers cottage in which Carnegie was born, alongside an magnificent art deco hall designed by James Shearer (RSA), the museum encourages a generation to follow in his footsteps, to dream big, and give back.
