As part of the national celebrations to mark 500 years of printing in Scotland, the University of Dundee Museum Services is staging two exhibitions looking at different aspects of printing.

`Medical Impressions - printing in medical education' is a special collaborative exhibition with the Department of Special Collections at the University of St Andrews Library, focusing on the role of printing in the history of medical education in Scotland - from textbooks to teaching charts, from exam papers to degree certificates.

The exhibition runs until October 4th at the Tayside Medical History Museum, Medical School Foyer, Ninewells Hospital.

`Artistic Impressions - printing in art' focuses on the various uses of print in art, and includes a range of printmaking techniques (such as etchings, mezzotints, monotypes and screenprints); a display on Dundee's early cartoonists and newspaper illustrators; and a selection of rarely seen, limited edition works from the University's Centre for Artists Books.

The exhibition runs until May 31st in the Main Library, University of Dundee.
