We’re really sorry, but the Grimshaw exhibition in the Art Gallery and the West Wing of the Rotunda Museum are currently closed due to water leaks following recent heavy rainfall. We’re working to open them again as soon as possible – thanks for your understanding.

Scarborough Art Gallery

A Touring Exhibition from Barnsley Museums

This exclusively commissioned body of work by Jennifer Robertson LRPS and Lynne Fletcher who work collaboratively as Kyte Photography, designed and curated by Professor Joann Fletcher, looks at the Egyptian inspired architecture found throughout Yorkshire. It reflects the West’s enduring fascination with Egypt’s ancient monuments, long regarded as the ultimate symbols of immortality, copied and constructed for centuries right across Europe.
