'Voyage' exhibition opens at museum

A new exhibition is on display at the Manx Museum, curated by students on a summer work placement with Manx National Heritage. 

'Voyage' is described as a nautical adventure through our ever-changing seas, and features seascapes from the Manx national art collection alongside modern pieces, including an artwork on loan from Roger Dean. 

Manx National Heritage Curator for Art and Social History, Katie King, says the brief was to create an engaging exhibition to attract a younger audience to the Manx Museum, and the six students tackled each aspect of the project together, from conservation, design, marketing and installation.

The exhibition is on display until October 31 at the Manx Museum, which is open daily from 9.30am-4.30pm, and admission is free.
