A Dog’s Life

March 8 - June 29

Our love of dogs has been part of our national identity for centuries and, as the world’s most popular pet, this obsession with our canine companions shows no sign of waning. There are an estimated 12 million dogs in the UK, with roughly 36% of households owning a dog.

The ‘A Dog’s Life’ exhibition shows the work of international artists, designers, illustrators and photographers who use dogs as their subject matter and inspiration. Giving insight into the influence and impact that dogs have had on these artists’ lives and practice, the show explores the bond between humans and their four-legged friends.

As well as a wide-ranging display of dog themed photography, ceramics, textiles, prints and sculpture, there will be lots of opportunities for visitors to get involved: There’s a ‘Name the Breed’ trail, an interactive which allows visitors to test their knowledge of animated TV and film dog characters, and there is a digital interactive where visitors can see what they’d look like as a dog. There will also be an area where visitors can display photos of their own dogs and have a go at drawing their own pooch’s portrait.
