Ralph Steadman Exhibition 15th February – 10th May 2025
If you need a spark of creativity, visit our Ralph Steadman Exhibition at the museum! The exhibition explores four major areas of Steadman’s work, from his bold illustrations for Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland, and Animal Farm to his whimsical children’s pieces, including The Ralphabet. You’ll also discover his striking depictions of endangered species, created in collaboration with filmmaker Ceri Levy, and his legendary partnership with journalist Hunter S. Thompson, which helped define the Gonzo journalism movement.
Pop in, soak up some inspiration, and then grab a doodle card to start your own masterpiece!
