New commission

Throughout 2009 we will also be displaying a brand new contemporary art commission by leading artist, Dail Behennah. Visit our 'Labelled' page to find out more about this exciting new piece of work.

Looking ahead

Later this year we hope to stage one of the most significant exhibitions held here for some 15 years. 'Sir Joshua Reynolds: The Acquisition of Genius' will highlight the local, regional, national and international significance of this famous portrait artist, who was born in Plympton and went on to become the first ever president of the Royal Academy.

The exhibition, which will run from 21 November 2009 to 20 February 2010 is currently under development. New changes and updates will be announced on the exhibition page as they happen over the coming months.
