About this event

Join us in the Hunterian Art Gallery at our all-staff event to enjoy our news displays after hours.

This April, we will reveal a full redisplay of the Hunterian Art Gallery presenting over 200 artworks spanning seven centuries in our revamped main gallery. Many of the works have never been on show before or have been hidden from view for a number of years. The displays also include a number of works by women, items that have undergone intensive conservation and some old favourites. To make these amazing collections and wonderful spaces more meaningful to more people, the artworks will be presented under new themes, which will ask questions and invite discussion.

We'll be hosting some live music and will be providing plenty of drinks and nibbles. Wee ones can enjoy our arts and crafts activities and try out our Art Gallery trail. Admission is free and all staff and their families are welcome. Places are limited so please confirm your attendance as soon as possible.

*This event is funded by the Ferguson Bequest. Professor Thomas Ferguson (1900-1977), Henry Mechan Chair of Public Health (1944-64), bequeathed his estate to the University, with the instruction that the money should be used to foster the social side of University life.*

Organised by

At the heart of the University of Glasgow since 1807, The Hunterian connects people with stories, individuals and ideas found in stunning collections of objects, belongings and artworks.

Today The Hunterian is a space for questioning and experimentation, for enjoyment and enrichment, for connection and collaboration and for reflecting on the role museums and individuals can play in furthering equity, justice and diversity in our society. 

We actively work to make The Hunterian a more relevant and meaningful place – for University students and staff, for Glaswegians, for Scots and for our global visitors.
