Slow Art Day

Exhibition

2 Apr 2022 | 11am to 4pm | Athelstan Museum

Free

Turner painting of Malmesbury Abbey

Come and spend ten relaxing and enjoyable minutes looking at the Turner painting and comparing it with the prints of other artists.

This is a global all-volunteer event with a simple mission: help more people discover the joy of looking at, and loving, art.

Why Slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.

We look forward to seeing you on April 2nd. 

The Turner volunteers will be here to talk to you between 11am and 4pm.

Hannah Twynnoy is possibly the first person to be killed by a tiger in England, but why was this possible? What happened to cause her death?
