Ray Harryhausen - Titan of Cinema
Ray Harryhausen was one of stop motion’s most influential special effects experts. He began making films in the 1950s and changed the face of modern movie making. This exhibition is the largest and widest-ranging of Harryhausen’s work – it even features newly restored and previously unseen material from his archive – and traces his career on films such as Jason and the Argonauts, the Sinbad films of the 1950s and 1970s, One Million Years B.C. and Mighty Joe Young.
May-August. Tickets from £12 (booking required). Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two), 75 Belford Road, Edinburgh, EH4 3DR, www.nationalgalleries.org/exhibition/ray-harryhausen-titan-cinema
Another Time, Another Place
This is a showcase of the 12 paintings of Victoria Crowe that went on to inspire 12 poems by Christine De Luca to form a really interesting conversation between an artist and a poet. Crowe’s works represent a return to her studio after having to put her practice on pause, and examine the idea of finding the profound outside your window – a subject which we have all become very familiar with over the last year.
10-29 May. Free. The Scottish Gallery, 6 Dundas Street, Edinburgh New Town, EH3 6HZ, scottish-gallery.co.uk/exhibitions/another-time-another-place

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
