Happy from Nottingham Castle! 🌳🏹🎉

We're so lucky to get to see this view over our beautiful city and county every day! Nottingham's original medieval castle and the Ducal Palace have stood on Castle Rock for centuries, and have seen 1000 years of history from the top of this sandstone cliff...

💙 ARTISTS, LOVERS, OUTSIDERS - FINAL WEEKS💙

There's only two more weeks to see our temporary exhibition 'Artists, Lovers, Outsiders'! Discover the forgotten story of 'The Two Roberts' - Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun were, briefly, two of the most famous artists in the world. Now, they are almost forgotten and more often remembered for their tragically short lives, if at all.

🎨 Curated by author Damian Barr, this landmark exhibition shares the story of their lives together, as a pioneering couple in the 20th century art world. The exhibition contains several works never displayed to the public, shining light on two trailblazing Scottish artists.

📅 On display until Sunday 6th September
🎫 FREE to Annual Pass holders - buy you 'pay once, visit all year round' ticket today!
