For the next few months, the Hunterian Art Gallery will be home to Hand Drawn Action Packed, a major exhibition curated by Hayward Gallery Touring. Featuring ten international artists including Marcel Dzama, Inci Eviner, Yun-Fei Ji, Nalini Malani and Rinus Van de Velde, the exhibition explores narrative in drawing and its many forms: from stories unfolding through a sequence, to single images combined with words and animation.
Our blockbuster exhibition opens at Kelvin Hall this April and features Trix, the Tyrannosaurus rex - one of the three most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons in the world. The 66-million-year-old fossil is the centrepiece of this amazing exhibition which also features a range of exciting interactive exhibits. Don't miss your chance to come face-to-face with a real T. rex!
