To celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition, Through Ice and Fire, drop in to the Polar Museum for the chance to speak to artist Rowan Huntley all about her art and artistic process. Rowan will be chatting to visitors in the Special Exhibitions Gallery from 12pm - 2pm.
A fusion of contemporary art and cutting-edge Antarctic research, the exhibition connects geology and our industrial past with the science of glaciers, ice-sheets and the climate. Through Ice & Fire is a conversation between two inspirational women: connecting the artist Rowan Huntley with the polar geochemist Dr Joanne Johnson.
