Scottish writer, poet and editor, Walter Scott was one of the main figures of the romantic movement in Great Britain, whose historical novels, in which he is considered a true pioneer of the genre, became famous throughout Europe. After studying law in Edinburgh, Scott began to write until he reached his romantic historical works. Scott's historical works began with the publication of Waverley (1814) and Rob Roy, but it was with Ivanhoe (1819) that he achieved greater success that led him to write not only about other countries such as Louis France. . However, Scott kept his identity as a novelist a secret so that it would not interfere with his career as a poet. Scott's work is considered one of the most influential on the European continent and his romantic component can be seen in a multitude of later works in different countries. Sir Walter Scott died at Abbotsford on 21 September 1832.

The children would start by replicating sculptures by the different sculptors that we have seen in the museum, that they choose. Making them with plasticine, mud and clay. Workshop for adults: This workshop is more complete than the previous one. Here, the people enrolled will not only learn to replicate the paintings or sculptures. They will learn to write works as the great writers of the time did and to make architectural plans.
