Pre-Raphaelites: Dreaming of a medieval past
16 May—27 September 2020 (postponed due to Covid-19)

This exhibition takes a fresh look at the Pre-Raphaelites and their obsession with medieval subject matter.

During the 19th century the Pre-Raphaelites created countless images of medieval history and legends. These pictures served as metaphors of an alternative world far away from the challenges of contemporary life.

While British society was rapidly changing during the age of Empire and Industrialisation, pictures of perfect kings, saints and fairy tales offered the imagination a temporary escape, a place to lose oneself and a social ideal to aspire to.

Along with highlights from our own collection, the exhibition will feature loans from art galleries around the UK including Tate and the Ashmolean Museum. Among others, the show will feature works by Edward Burne-Jones, Frank Dicksee, William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Dreaming of a medieval past takes a new well-being approach to exhibition design. We invite you to sit down, relax, and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells around you.

This exhibition is a collaboration with The Bowes Museum.

The Garden Court

Hallowed Halls was written as a homage to ancient or enchanting architectural spaces. When you walk into some buildings, the sense of history living within the walls and very fabric of the building is palpable. Generations come and go, lovingly maintaining their most cherished spaces to exist within a world they will never know. The piece combines the sound of an old orchestral keyboard instrument called the celeste with various synths and bell-like textures, and a repetitive groove built from a traditional Irish drum called the bodhran. Louise Anna’s voice is also used within the texture to create a sense of it reverberating within the space. The track has taken on a new significance recently, with all the concert halls, theatres and gathering spaces worldwide that lie dormant, waiting to be filled with life again.
