Cost: Free Admission

We are hosting an exhibition of the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in our gallery and are borrowing the following pieces from Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

1885P2476 The Boat of Love, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, oil on canvas
1931P60 Morning Music, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, watercolour and bodycolour on paper
1904P415 The Loving Cup – Compositional Study, Dante Gabriel Rosetti pencil on paper
1904P238 Dantis Amor – Finished Study, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Brown pen and ink and wash on paper

This high-profile exhibition has been many years in the planning as we work with curators and staff at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. ‘Dante in Dunoon’ is a theme that originated with ‘Degas for Dunoon’ in 2018 and aims to bring new audiences into our venue, as well as encourage wider audiences from our local community. The project will encompass public talks and gallery tours with Dante experts; and a community engagement programme for children, young people and families. We will commission a Dante expert to create interpretation panels for this exquisite exhibition working alongside Birmingham Museum staff.

Help us to keep exhibitions running

Entry to our exhibitions is free but it does cost us money to bring them to Dunoon Hall. We would appreciate any donations to help us keep providing our exhibition program in the future.
