Curator Tour: Show Your Metal

Show Your Metal showcases over 100 objects drawn from Sheffield’s Designated Metalwork Collection, celebrating the pioneering advances that earned the city a global reputation. 

In this tour, our Curator of Metalwork and Industry, Emma Paragreen, will explain how she approached curating the exhibition alongside Exhibitions & Displays Curator, Katie Irwin. She’ll show you highlights from the city’s Metalwork Collection, as well as a range of contemporary artworks that demonstrate the spectacle of metal in the hands of artists. 

These tours form part of the programme of events complementing the exhibition , which opens at the Millennium Gallery on 13 June 2024, until 29 September 2024.
