EXHIBITION
ROOMS

DANCE
A National Galleries of Scotland Touring Exhibition
Dance is a
subject which Edgar Degas is particularly well known for,
often painting scenes of dancers backstage or in rehearsal
and A Group of Dancers, showing ballet dancers at
rest between rehearsals, is one of his best known works.
This show, which centres on Degas’ stunning 19th
century work juxtaposes paintings,
sculpture, prints and photography from leading artists
including Poussin, Antoine Watteau, Picasso, Dame Laura
Knight and Diane Arbus.
LONG GALLERY
The Long Gallery is also used as educational space and as a
result may sometimes be closed to the public. We advise you
to check before making your visit to avoid disappointment.
From Saturday 30 January to Sunday 28 March
‘WHAT’S THE WAR GOT TO DO WITH US?’
This
fascinating exhibition, the culmination of a year-long
research project, explores the impact the Second World War
had on our local community. The exhibition features personal
testimonies, rare archival items from the period and new
information about the significant role played by north east
sites such as Duff House, as a prisoner of war camp and the
strike wing at Boyndie, where RAF Banff was based. The
project ‘Their
Past Your Future Scotland’ is part of a national initiative,
funded by the Big Lottery and led by Museums Galleries
Scotland.
TEAROOM
Thursday 14 January to Sunday 28 March
SAND
In the short
time after high tide, amazingly intricate patterns are formed as
seawater drains from the sand to form tiny deltas - geology in miniature
in the making. Artist Sue Edwards says, 'I was not the artist here
- just the technician who captured these beautiful never-to-be-repeated
formations with my camera. And it happens every day ...'
Thursday 1 April to Sunday 30 May
ALONG THE COASTAL TRAIL
Artist Allan
Thistleton's oil paintings take us along the coastal trail in a
classical style. Starting from Fiddle Bow Rock at Portknockie and
moving on to Cullen Bay, Portsoy Harbour and Banff - with a small
diversion along the river Deveron to the historic Bridge of Alvah - the
exhibition continues to Gardenstown and Crovie, finally coming to rest
at Pennan.
