Exhibition: Schools Environmental Science Challenge: "Pollution"

Wander through the wonderful River & Rowing Museum to see the Exhibition of our Schools’ Environmental Science Challenge, the theme of which is Pollution.

Come along and see the work of our local students on this important topic, sitting alongside The Beautiful Blue exhibition which showcases creative work from a diverse group of artists, dedicated to themes of ecology and sociology. Its exploration of water and our human relationship with it invites a shift in the role of the viewer from passive spectator to active thinker, doer and art-maker.

Both exhibitions run from 23rd May to 17th June.
