We have packed programmes at Northampton Museum & Art Gallery and Abington Park Museum, with a programme of changing exhibitions to interest, inspire and amaze.
Our latest in-house exhibition Punk: Rage & Revolution looks back at the rebellious era of the 1970s as we revisit punk and its impact on Northamptonshire and beyond. The exhibition takes you on a wild journey through the anarchic spirit and innovative energy that defined this pivotal period in music and culture.
In the art gallery we explore the visually explosive world of punk through the iconic artwork of the late Jamie Reid. Known for his unforgettable designs for the Sex Pistols and other legendary punk bands, Reid's work transcends the boundaries of traditional art. Explore his provocative, thought-provoking creations that remain as relevant today as they were during the punk heyday. 'Tis the season to be jolly, and there's no better place to experience the magic of Christmas than our ever-popular
Christmas Fair at Abington. Wander through a winter wonderland of artisanal crafts, delectable treats, and Christmas crafts. From unique gifts to seasonal delights, our fair is the perfect destination to kick off your holiday celebrations.
It's not just punk and Christmas however, explore the What’s On and discover our dynamic exhibitions and exciting events that await you, and let your curiosity be your guide.
