Events & Exhibitions
Exhibitions flower then die. They preserve objects in situ, but then themselves die, and are forgotten in all but the material remains, a guidebook, an image, a souvenir, that are left behind. In this way they become artefacts themselves. Out of time. Exhibition closed.
The Wunderkammer is proud of our rolling events and exhibitions. Explore our award-winning* Exhibition programme and our varied regular and one-off events catering to all demographics and designed around the unique exhibits you can only see here in the museum.
*Award-winning is a projected estimate, not yet a fact.
