Colour is a source of wonder. It can help us make sense of the world around us and is used to communicate by wildlife, plants and people alike. Colour can be found at the heart of both religious and cultural traditions, and has the ability to symbolise who we are.
Curated by Hampshire Cultural Trust in partnership with Sheffield Museums, Tullie Museum and Art Gallery, Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery and Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, Colour brings together over 150 objects spanning art, science, nature and cultural histories.
Objects on display include beautiful bird plumage and iridescent insects which show how colour is used in the natural world, and textiles demonstrating the rich spectrum of natural and manmade pigments and dyes. Packed with interactive displays and vibrant objects, this thought-provoking exhibition is a chance to see colour differently.
Colour has been created for the Museum and Galleries Network for Exhibition Touring (MAGNET), with Art Fund support and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Admission free, donations welcome
