For art lovers ...

Turner in Barnstaple is open!

It's been a busy start to our 'Turner in Barnstaple' exhibition.

It's been great to see so many people coming to see Turner's work and learn about what life would've been like here at the time he visited Barnstaple in the early 19th century.

The exhibition runs from July 20th to October 12th 2024, so there's plenty of time to visit the museum and see it over the summer.

Free exhibition at the Burton Art Gallery by Victoria Park ...

Krzysztof Strzelecki's Bathers (2022) is one of the first works that visitors see when entering our Pop Art & Pottery exhibition, and has been generating lots of positive comments.

Strzelecki's work often engages with LGBTQ+ issues, especially how different societies relate to issues of acceptance, prejudice and the enduring problem of discrimination. His work evokes a 'gay paradise' which celebrates the joy of life lived to the maximum.

Pop Art & Pottery runs until 11 August. Free entry.
