CURRENT AND UPCOMING TOURING EXHIBITIONS
Art of the Wild: Gertrude Hermes and the Natural World
One of the most innovative wood engravers of the twentieth century, Gertrude Hermes OBE developed a highly distinctive style that combined technical virtuosity with bold imagination. Drawing on the rich collections of the Ashmolean Museum, this exhibition demonstrates Hermes’s enduring fascination with the natural world – from her Jazz Age bird, fish and flower prints to monumental coloured linocuts of the 1950s.

Skyscape: Dürer, Rembrandt, Palmer, Ruskin, Nash
Inspired by Constable's famous statement that 'It will be difficult to name a class of landscape in which the sky is not the key note, the standard scale and the chief organ of sentiment' this exhibition focuses on aerial rather than terrestrial landscapes in art, and celebrates five hundred years of artists' fascination with the sky.
Coming soon, dates may be subject to change
