About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour
  • Ages 16+

Claudia Myatt is one of the eight artists featured in the Polar Museum's Painting the Poles temporary exhibition.

Travelling across the world’s wildest ocean to the tip of Antarctica, to remote islands of rock, ice and wind inhabited only by penguins and seals, Claudia Myatt’s sketchbook diaries show us a vivid, personal response to places most of us will never experience. Find out what a sketchbook can do that a camera can’t, and find out what it’s like to get your paintbox out on a rolling ship in the Southern Ocean, or trying to capture the essence of cold amongst icebergs.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cost to attend?

We are proud to offer this as a free event and we would never want cost to be a barrier to you attending. If you have the capacity, we would greatly appreciate a suggested donation to the museum of £5 per person to help these events continue.

I'm not an academic, can I still attend?

Yes! This event is designed for a non-academic audience but still prioritises the chance to learn something new or dive deeper into an interesting subject area. Feel free to bring a notepad and pen or just an open mind.

Refreshments will be available in the Lecture Theatre from 10:45am and the talk will begin at 11:00am. The talk will last around 30-40 minutes followed by time for questions and conversation. We will wrap up by 12:00pm. We hope you'll also visit the Polar Museum, which is open from 10am - 4pm.
