Exhibitions

Bath is hosting a rich array of art exhibitions that span classical, contemporary, and cultural themes. Here are some highlights:

12th May – 31st August
Nicholas Party

Nicholas Party: Copper & Dust at The Holburne Museum

The Holburne’s new installation brings together recent works by Nicolas Party. Born in Switzerland in 1980, Party is well-known for his soft pastel works, site-specific murals and immersive installations. His early work influences the latter as a graffiti artist, his training in graphic design and 3D animation, and his love of 18th century pastels – examples of which feature in our collection.

23rd May – 14th September

Impressions in Watercolour: Turner and his Contemporaries at the Holburne Museum

This will be a rare opportunity to see some of Turner’s finest watercolours from a private collection, in the 250th anniversary year since his birth. The exhibition will showcase Turner at his most experimental and gestural. The selection of works will also place him among notable contemporaries including Thomas Girtin and John Sell Cotman, to highlight the era of exciting developments in watercolour in which they worked.
