In an unusual move, the Scottish Parliament has hosted its first ever art exhibition, comprising a collection of works by the 20th century pop artist Andy Warhol (on loan from the US Foundation that bears his name). The somewhat tenuous links are the Scottish Parliament's current homage to Scottish-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, founder of the Carnegie-Mellon University where Warhol trained in the 1940s, and the central theme of Pop, Power and Politics'. Whether you take that as read or pause to reflect on the PR incentive, given the impending independence referendum, this ticketed exhibition has been hugely popular, drawing in visitors of all ages.
