Discover Ancient Egypt – Tutankhamun: 100 Years of Discovery

Tutankhamun: 100 Years of Discovery at Ferens Art Gallery

100 years after archaeologist Howard Carter and his patron, Lord Carnarvon, caught their first glimpse of the fabulous golden treasures of a then little-known Egyptian Pharoah called Tutankhamun visitors are invited to unearth the thrilling stories, myths and controversies surrounding the treasures of Tutankhamun in an exciting exhibition.

Using Hull Museums’ collection of exquisitely crafted replicas of treasures found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, handmade by sculptor William Aumonier Junior and his team of skilled artisans for the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 and 1925, visitors will be able to follow in the footsteps of those Wembley visitors from 100 years ago when the momentous discovery caused a sensation and ‘Tutmania’ swept the world.

Discover Ancient Egypt – Egyptian Hieroglyphs: Unlock the Mystery

A British Museum Touring Exhibition at Ferens Art Gallery

Unlock the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphs and discover all about the ancient world and the origins of civilization. The fascinating story of how the Egyptian hieroglyphs were decoded will be celebrated with the Ferens Art Gallery being the first stop on a national tour, following the major exhibition at the British Museum marking the centenary of the decipherment of hieroglyphs.

Perfect for all ages, visitors will be introduced to great pioneers like Jean-Francois Champollion whose ground-breaking work on deciphering the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, enriched our knowledge of human history by 3,000 years. Telling the story of objects central to the efforts to decipher the hieroglyphs, the exhibition will include an extract from the Book of the Dead belonging to the priestess, Nestanebetisheru to a large limestone lintel revealing the hieroglyphic name of the great Pharoah Ramses III. Egyptian hieroglyphs will take visitors on a journey of discovery, uncovering the central role hierglyphs played in the lives and deaths of the ancient Egyptians.

Here: A Journey Along the Humber Estuary

Ideas about the way geography and a particular “sense of place” affects us reminded me about the poem Here, by Philip Larkin (see separate attachment for further information and images). Over recent months, Here has acted as a source of inspiration for a series of paintings. The poem envisages a journey which follows a route from the “rich industrial shadows” of West Yorkshire along the banks of the Humber through to Hull and beyond to the North Sea and “unfenced existence”.

The Wolds in Pastels

Peter Ainsworth

”Ranging over the Wolds and neighbouring areas in the East Riding, I find myself absorbed by momentary impressions of a location or view involving particular combinations of light and shade.”

Free Entry 

Open daily from 10am-5pm (except for 21st March-26th March close at 4pm)

A Day at the Seaside

Hornsea has a special relationship with the sea.

Seascapes are defined by restless sea waves, skies with by
dynamic winds, clouds, mists and spray, the beaches by ever-
shifting sand, pools, stones and rocks. The beach can change
shape overnight, the promenade left littered with heavy
stones.

Steve’s images are of visible waveforms in the sea and shore and
the patterns made by light on the water and the sand, and
others. Some capture the longer-term interactions between
the land and the sea.

Open Daily from 10am-4pm

Peter Huby: Hull and Back

Open daily 10am-5pm with late opening Tuesdays till 7pm.

Peter Huby’s career as an artist, writer, film-maker and house builder spans 60 years and several countries. After growing up in Hull, and working across the east and north of England, Peter settled in Greece in 2004 where his creative output expanded to include a hand built and mosaiced house of exceptional originality.

This exhibition is a retrospective covering his work from 1968 to the present day. It includes his latest series of paintings inspired by the Spurn peninsula, a recurring theme in his work, alongside ceramic sculptures, prints, drawings and large scale photographs of the mosaiced house which he and his partner, Linda Cox, have been building since 2006. Peter intends to give an impression of the house through a scale cardboard model assembles in the exhibition space.

Polar Fest

We are excited to present a winter event, ‘Polar Fest’ in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey and the Scott Polar Research Institute. The event will be a celebration of science and adventure amongst the most extreme elements in the world – the Polar Regions.

Explore the world of polar science including research into topics like the effects of climate change on the Antarctic, plastic in Antarctic oceans, Antarctic food webs, Alien invaders and the history of Antarctic exploration. Find out how researchers live and work in such challenging climates and why the work they are doing is so important, for the planet and all who live on it.

Make sure you pick up a trail sheet from reception, follow the clues to answer the questions to be in with a chance of winning some polar goodies! Visitors will be able to get hands on and learn real research methods applied by polar scientists and the science of snowflakes. Plus see real stomach content from an Albatross which includes plastics, litter and find out how plastics are effecting the oceans and the species who live in them. Find out how tall you are compared to different species of penguins including an extinct species which was 1.75m tall before warming up with a delicious hot chocolate and a sweet treat.

Continue your journey with a stop by the researcher’s field camp and find out what life is like for a researcher in the frozen Antarctic. Learn about the specialist equipment they take with them from sleeping bags and cooking equipment to different types of clothing to ensure they can survive in one of the most hostile and environments on the planet.

Find out more about the vast array of careers available through the British Antarctic Survey and the diversity of skills required to operate research stations in the Antarctic, from researchers and scientists to plumbers, chefs, cleaners and electricians.
