THIS EXHIBITION HAS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE VIEW OUR CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS. 


Cosmos: The art of observing Space is a major art and science exhibition celebrating our enduring fascination with space. Bringing together contemporary and historic artists, the exhibition features an extraordinary range of work inspired by the cosmos. 

Discover breathtaking pieces by leading names such as Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, Sir Christopher Le Brun PPRA Hon. RWA, Cornelia Parker CBE OBE RA, Wolfgang Tillmans RA, and RWA Academicians, alongside emerging voices exploring the mysteries of the universe through paint, sculpture, installation and digital media.    

Complementing these contemporary works are rare and remarkable artefacts from the archives of the partner institution, the Royal Astronomical Society, and from national collections. From historical moon drawings and star maps to beautifully crafted celestial globes, these objects offer a glimpse into how artists and scientists have long turned to the skies in search of meaning, beauty, and understanding. Curated by visual artist, Ione Parkin RWA, Cosmos: The art of observing Space invites visitors to experience the awe, wonder and imagination sparked by space exploration—past, present and future.  

We offer Tours of the Exhibition every Tuesday Lunchtime at 12pm, complimentary with your Gallery Ticket.

a beautiful important history book
Format: Hardcover
What an amazing book! This book is the version with incredible photos as part of the history story. I couldn't believe how vivid this was when I opened up the book. I'd been wanting the book for a while, because so little is told of the enslaved people's history in this country. It is important for us to understand our past, and without books like this one we do not have the full story. Thank you to the authors who put together this beautiful book.

This book is well written, insightful and well illustrated.
Format: Hardcover
Very interesting, well written and illustrated book. I haven’t experienced this through the eyes of people other than myself. We all believe we are on the correct side of history but the truth is a very strong thing when introduced to you. The truth is a beacon to the feet of our country as we move forward but we have gone off path. Thankfully it is not too late because we are all human.

A book that will serve generations with the truth
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautifully designed book. It's narrative includes honest reporting of historical facts. The photos are very helpful toward getting a vivid mental picture of the harsh reality of being a slave in America. It does not a book that promotes negativity, it's just the truth as it appeared. It is very relevant toward promoting peace, understanding and humanitarianism for the ills that plague this country. It's worth the price.
