Tour Scotland Photographs Venetian Masks

Tour Scotland photograph of Venetian Masks in the Museum in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Venetian masks are a centuries old tradition of Venice, Italy. The masks are typically worn during the Carnival (Carnival of Venice), but have been used on many other occasions in the past, usually as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status. The mask would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention
