THE PAVILION AT SEACITY MUSEUMPort Out, Southampton Home: The Age of the Ocean Liner 25 March 2016 to 4 June 2017

In their golden age from the 1920s to the 1950s, ocean liners were the lifeblood of Southampton, bringing employment, industry and glamour to the city. From the early days in the 1890s to modern day cruiseliners, this major exhibition tells the story of these great ships and evokes the romance of sea travel and life on board. The exhibition includes a wide range of rarely seen items from the city’s maritime collection, including ship models, posters, photographs and ephemera from the great liners such as menu cards and souvenirs.

See furniture and other items from some of the famous ships that called Southampton home such as the Mauretania, Queen Mary and QE2, and learn about the people who travelled and worked the oceans aboard these iconic ships through letters, diaries and oral history interviews with passengers and crew.

Visitors of all ages can have a go at activities such as deck quoits, try on a captain’s or steward’s uniform, or find out what was served for a meal in First Class on the Queen Mary.

These include the high Romantic era of the early nineteenth century, the Pre-Raphaelites, the Pastoral Etchers, Neo-Romantics and environmentally engaged contemporaries.

Artists represented in this exhibition include William Holman Hunt, JMW Turner, Paul Nash, John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Keith Vaughan and Christopher Le Brun.

Galleries 7 & 8

Adored as pets, worshipped as gods, exploited for food and hunted for sport. Beasts or Best Friends? Animals in Art asks its audience to consider whether humans really are animals’ best friend. Visitors will be able to judge for themselves as they explore how the dynamic relationship between humankind and the animal world is depicted in art.

The exhibition is a collaboration between Southampton City Art Gallery and Russell-Cotes, Bournemouth and draws upon the wealth of animal art held within both collections, including work by some of the most famous animal painters in their day: James Ward, Edwin Landseer, Briton Riviere, Thomas Sidney (Cow) Cooper and Lucy Kemp-Welch. The exhibition will also feature work by 20th century artists Barry Flanagan, Henry Moore and Maggie Hambling.

Saxon Hamwic was a thriving town, international port and manufacturing centre, situated in what is now the St Mary’s area of Southampton. It was a major trading centre and even had its own mint, making small silver coins called sceattas. The people of Hamwic were industrious and carried out a wide range of activities, including pottery making, metal working, glass bead making, bone working, spinning and weaving. This exhibition showcases archaeological finds which shed light on how people lived and worked here over a thousand years ago.
