Previous Exhibitions

Pieces of Me was an exhibition that was on display at Museum & Art Swindon between the 9th July and the 28th September 2024.

It was Museum & Art Swindon's first exhibition produced and curated by young people. It brought together the voices of young people from the Where We Are… project, showcasing their thought-provoking work alongside modern and contemporary artworks from Swindon’s collections.

The Where We Are… project saw young people join forces with Museum & Art Swindon, Prime Theatre, the British Museum and Swindon artists to explore their place within the arts in Swindon. Their exhibition delved into the creative process and unpicked the pieces of identity, from the influence of place, to the importance of self-expression.

Double Take was on display at Mueum & Art Swindon between the 9th July and 28th September 2024.

This exhibition brought together the work of six Museum & Art Swindon Collection artists, four contemporary Wiltshire artists and 200 Swindon school children.

Asking pupils across Swindon to look… and then look again. Their challenge was to take inspiration from artworks in the Swindon Collection. With the support of practising professional artists Anya Beaumont, Jo Beal, Jo McAree and Helen Moore, pupils produced their own creative responses. Their artwork was displayed alongside the work of the artists who inspired them. Pupils explored the ways we experience and respond to the world around us. Their work encouraged us to see the world in new and unexpected ways – to sit up and take notice.
