What's On - Reframing the Muse

Reframing the Muse

Reframing the Muse image
This exhibition examines the evolving role of the female body as a subject in art, exploring how it has been used to convey stories of desire, identity and power. Across time and cultures, the female form has been both celebrated and constrained, serving as a canvas for societal ideals, cultural tensions and personal expression.

Reframing the Muse questions traditional portrayals that often reduce women to objects of beauty or morality, while also highlighting works where women reclaim their bodies as tools for self-representation and defiance. Through themes of performance, identity and cultural appropriation, the exhibition uncovers the complexities of how the female body has been represented, interpreted and reimagined.

Open Monday to Friday, 9.30am-7pm.
Earlier closing times may apply on some weekday evenings - we advise arriving no later than 5pm.
