EXHIBITION
Dream On
Until 20 January 2019
FREE Admission
An exploration of dreams, the unconscious and an imaginary world between sleep and wakefulness, Dream On looks at our relationship to objects and the power of the inanimate.
This exhibition plays with the notion that objects come to life when we are not looking, much like our dreams as we fall asleep.
DISPLAY
Until 20 May 
FREE Admission
The roles we are given within the family group are embedded from an early age and become defining elements of who we are.  We often describe ourselves in relation to our sister or brother and compare similarities and differences.
This set of portraits by Madeleine Waller aims to explore sibling relationships and how they affect our sense of identity.
