Welcome to the Instrumental Awards for Chamber Music showcase at the Museum of Zoology. Starting at 2pm in the Lower Gallery a group of talented musicians will perform Mozart, Schumann and more amongst the large skeletons in the Museum.
Kettle’s Yard is pleased to present Paint Like the Swallow Sings Calypso, a major new exhibition curated in dialogue with artists Paul Dash (b. 1946, Barbados), Errol Lloyd (b. 1943, Jamaica) and John Lyons (b. 1933, Trinidad), three important first-generation diaspora Caribbean painters that were working in the UK during the same period that the Kettle’s Yard House and collection was still being established.
Since the 18th century, people have collected rock and minerals. What were their reasons for collecting?
Curated by student intern Guey-Mei Hsu, this display looks at three geology collections and their different makers and functions.
How do we define a ‘scientific instrument’ and ‘science’? Did they mean the same thing as they do today for people from different eras and places? The term ‘scientific instrument’ was only adopted in the 19th century. Most people would consider microscopes and telescopes scientific instruments but what about a radio or a calculator?
Join us for a Chamber Music concert as pianist Susan Tomes returns to Kettle’s Yard.

From late 13th and early 14th century, the Akan people of southwestern Ghana and southeastern Ivory Coast developed a weighting system to measure gold dust, which was the form of currency. Beyond their transactional use, the importance of goldweights lies in their ability to communicate the multifaceted cultural practices and worldview of the Akan people, but also the underlining systems and structures they created.
