Into Ocean & Ice
Opens Fri 29 Nov | Free with museum entry
Take a trip to Antarctica through the exhibition Into Ocean & Ice. Five artists interpret the remote cool South, taking in Ernest Shackleton’s failed yet epic Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917) to the Weddell and Ross seas, and modern-day South Georgia in the South Atlantic Ocean, where the climate crisis has glaciers on the run and biodiversity experts worried.
