Temporary exhibitions in national museums provide a window into the ways in which national identity is performed. When one national museum is presented in the space of another nation, the changes of narrative and performance are even more vivid. Looking at a 1984 exhibition of A merican artefacts in S cotland, T reasures from the S mithsonian I nstitution at the R oyal S cottish M useum , this article examines how material culture can hold ever‐changing narratives of nation and identity, and how they alter to suit new contexts and spaces
