Turner and the Whale now on the History of Art Portal

Posted on 21 February 2018

Explore the 'Turner and the Whale' exhibition that recently closed at Hull Maritime Museum!

There are some wonderful resources available via the multi-media History of Art Research Portal which will allow you to explore the exhibition with informative notes on each art work, view scrimshaw in 3D and listen to a whaling soundscape.  You can also view selections from the Hull Maritime Museum Whaling Collection and read position papers from the one-day international and interdisciplinary symposium which considered key images and objects from the exhibition and the Hull collections.

The Turner and the Whale exhibition ran from 7 October 2017 to 7 January 2018 and was co-curated by Professor Jason Edwards and his PhD student Martha Cattell, in partnership with Tate and Hull Museums.  Read more about the exhibition.
