Upcoming Exhibitions:
JOY…Inspired By Nature
Friday 19 July - Sunday 22 September 2024:
Acclaimed artists Nicola Richardson and Marianne Taviner of Vortex Creates have transformed the space into an eye-popping wonderland that playfully reconnects us to nature.
Joy transcends individual boundaries, fostering a sense of unity and shared humanity. Nature inspires and connects us to something larger than ourselves, fostering a sense of awe and wonder. JOY…inspired by nature immerses you in the wonder of joyful designs and transformative spaces.
Wander through larger-than-life installations that infuse the gallery with bursts of colour and delight. Marvel at Vortex Creates’ two new works that find joyous connections between creativity and nature. Discover dazzling works by local artists curated by Vortex Creates specifically for the Herbert Museum and Art Gallery.
Giant flowers? Check. Bursts of rainbow colours? You bet.
Sounds and smells that awaken inner tranquillity. This show wants to connect you to nature, sparking your joy; and with the duo's signature bold and beautiful designs infusing every inch, you’re in for a treat.
Collecting Coventry
Saturday 11 May 2024 - Sunday 27 April 2025:
Collecting Coventry explores a catalogue of objects managed by Culture Coventry Trust, that reflect 75 years of collecting efforts.
Dating from the founding of the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in 1949 and Coventry Transport Museum in 1980, to the present day, this exhibition fills four rooms, which showcase the core themes of the collection, including Human History, Visual Art and Natural Sciences.
We explore how the museum collected in the past, how we collect today and how our approach to collecting might change in the future, to better represent the diversity of Coventry and its people.
We hope that you will contribute your views, and tell us what you think we should collect in the future, how we can represent you and your community better.
