 Exquisite Trove 23rd July - 2nd October 2010
Exquisite Trove is a collaboration between The House of Fairy Tales and Newlyn Art Gallery, with artist Hadrian Pigott. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities or Wunderkammer, this exhibition is an exploration of the human desire to collect, display and tell stories with objects and images. They reflect our personal histories and a fascination with the imagined lives of others.
The exhibition is an amalgamation of the House of Fairy Tales' touring
collection of significant and treasured items from artists, and an
eclectic selection of strange and wonderful objects loaned from 10 local
museums. The combination of artwork, treasured possessions and museum
artefacts provokes fascinating and intriguing interpretations.
Throughout the exhibition there will be storytelling areas, books and
activities for children of all ages that will inspire new narratives
about the objects on display.
