This Green and Pleasant Land

  • 19 October 2013 — 12 January 2014 *on now

'This Green and Pleasant Land' explores how life in the villages of Warwick district has changed over the past 200 years. The exhibition will feature agricultural items from the museum collection and objects from the local rural community.

There is also a series of contemporary images of the local villages. Over the past year, members of Leamington Spa Photographic Society have been taking photographs of rural scenes inspired by 19th and early-20th century paintings in the fine art collection. The historic and contemporary images will sit side by side in order to highlight what has changed and what has stayed the same.

David L. Carpanini: Painter, Printmaker and His World

  • 24 January — 21 April 2014

This exhibition will include paintings and prints which are studio assemblages, sketchbook observations, photographs and visual memories from the well-known Welsh artist.
The exhibition will convey a lifetime of work with Carpanini's open etchings alongside carefully constructed paintings. Each image focuses on man-made ugliness and the harsh reality of human life; however Carpanini manages to give the paintings a poetic beauty.
