Coming Soon – The Art of Art

Location: Northampton Museum & Art Gallery

Date(s): Saturday 27 June – Monday 31 August 2026

A person interacts with a hands-on museum exhibit titled “Colour Combinations,” rotating segments on a large colour wheel mounted on a display board. The board includes instructions and examples of colour schemes such as complementary, split complementary, triadic, and analogous. Additional artwork and a timeline labeled “Impressionism” and “Expressionism” are visible in the background, while coloured pieces are stored in a tray below the wheel.

Discover the techniques, tricks and trade of the art world, from perspective and colour, to lighting and composition. Explore interactive exhibits detailing major developments in the art world and how they shaped what people painted, how they painted and what they painted with.
