A number of Ferens works are rarely seen treasures, including watercolours, prints and drawings less often on public display due to their fragility to light.
This Friday evening we’re having a special preview of our next exhibition, Reflection: British Art in an Age of Change.
It will be taking place from 6pm-8pm. If you’d like to come along you can book a free ticket here
