Exhibitions
Made in Ancient Egypt
From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?
Watts & Co.
The Famous Facets of The Painted Church
Sat 7 September 2024 - Sun 15 September 2024
All Saints' Church
'The Famous Facets of the Painted Church' event will be held over the 2 weekends of Open Cambridge. On the 7/8 September visitors will be able to take a lasting look at the vibrant painted walls designed by Bodley together with the works of William Morris, Ford Madox Brown and Edward Burne-Jones amongst other artists involved in the project. Volunteers will be able to answer questions and give informal tours.
Watts & Co. will showcase some of their exquisite vestments and embroideries on the 14/15 September. Watts was co-founded by GF Bodley and the company was born out of a desire to complete the circle of Gothic Revival design and aesthetics in the decoration and furnishing of churches. The works in this exhibition will give visitors a better appreciation of and connection with church textiles over the 150 years of Watt's existence.
