The twenty-fifth year of this annual amateur art show – proving that there really is no end to the creativity of local artists! Entry is free, all you have to do is pick up an application form from the Museum (available early August) and your painting, drawing, photograph or craftwork can go on display in November.

Transitaria examines, in visual terms, an encounter with jellyfish and our ambivalent reaction to them. Made up of large scale photograms and a video piece, the show reflects artist Susanne Ramsenthaler’s interest in things that hover on the fine line between attraction and repulsion.
 

Over 90% of the wide and wonderful collections that Museums care for have been given to them.

From industrialists leaving their treasured heirlooms to children bringing in “treasures” from the beach; from Artists donating their own paintings to photographs retrieved from dusty attics and much, much more in between.

Discover some of the great gifts your Museum has received over the last eighty years.
