SUNLIGHT is the first major survey of the work of British artist Roger Ackling (1947-2014) and the most significant exhibition of his work to date. For 50 years, Ackling consistently made objects by burning wood - focussing sunlight through the lens of a hand-held magnifying glass to scorch repeated patterns of lines on the surface. SUNLIGHT will introduce Ackling's work to a new generation of audiences, prompting important conversations about the status of the object, the significance of material, the processes of making and the transformative power of display. The exhibition is developed in partnership with the Artist's Estate, Annely Juda Fine Art, the Henry Moore Institute and the Pier Arts Centre, and is supported by Norfolk Museums Service, Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, East Anglia Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation, Norwich University of the Arts and Art Fund.

Daniel & Clara are based in Essex, UK. They work across moving image, photography, performance, and mail art to explore the nature of human experience, perception and reality. The Lost Estate was commissioned by Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery and supported by High House Artist Residency. The exhibition is sponsored by East Anglia Art Fund.

Every dinosaur you have ever seen on film, TV or in books has at least in part been a work of imagination. This family friendly exhibition takes a look at the long history of our relationship with dinosaurs - from ancient legends of mythical winged beasts in the deserts of central Asia to the creatures bought to life in Jurassic Park. Featuring detailed models alongside memorabilia and fascinating fossils and specimens from our own collections, Dinosaurium explores how these incredible creatures have been re-imagined ever since they were first discovered. Learn about the animals that were around at the time of the dinosaurs and are still with us today and discover the passion and dedication of the fossil hunters and their collections. The exhibition is on loan from Hampshire Cultural Trust.
