Plymouth’s Box has revealed the date of their opening and a programme featuring a series of contemporary artists to commemorate the Mayflower 400 celebrations which are taking place across the city.
The Box will open its doors on Saturday 16th May with Mayflower 400: Legend and Legacy, the national commemorative exhibition for the Mayflower anniversary. The exhibition will be Plymouth’s biggest loan exhibition ever and has been co-created with the Wampanoag Advisory Committee to Plymouth 400 in the USA.
The exhibition will feature 300 items on loan from 100 museums, libraries and archives from around the world including Native American items from the National Museum of American Indian and the Harvard Peabody collection.
Entry to the exhibition will be free for Plymouth residents, with a small fee for visitors.
Other exhibitions planned for the Box include Making It, a contemporary art exhibition which aims to contrast the labour intensive process of making and Plymouth’s history as a city of makers. It will include five international artists, Leonor Antines, Eva Grubinger, Alexandre da unha, Christopher Baker and Antony Gormley.
The opening programme is completed by Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools), a video installation presented in partnership with the Arts Institute in the Levinsky Gallery at the University of Plymouth.
These exhibitions will be free as will a series of incredible permanent galleries that highlight the Box’s natural history, human history, art, archive, film and photographic collections.
