Discover Peter Kingston

Join a guided tour of new exhibition Peter Kingston — displaying over 70 works by this unique creative talent — with curators Elise Edmonds and Mathilde de Hauteclocque. This exhibition, which includes prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career, is a moving tribute to the late artist. 

This tour will meet in the Paintings Gallery (First Floor, Mitchell Building).
