John Kelly
Feb – July 2022
This exhibition presents artist John Kelly’s field explorations on two very contrasting islands, beginning in the young lava fields of Surtsey, Iceland, and ending among the time-worn rocks and erosional surfaces of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. On display are field sketches and objects collected from both islands. You can also read and listen to journal entries John made during his trips.
Feb 14th – Autumn 2022
Come and see the newly discovered fossil of Arthropleura, the largest arthropod to have ever lived. On display will be the partial remains of this 2.6m long animal along with new information we’ve learnt from the discovery.
