Our Lecture Hall and Baily Gallery host our temporary exhibitions. We change exhibitions regularly throughout the year, below you can find out more about what currently have on display.

22 June - 3 August

A Flight of Pixels

A Flight of Pixels: Digital Migration

The upcoming digital installation at Mansfield Museum, crafted by artist Barret Hodgson, promises to breathe life into our extensive collection of birds. Barret uses digital projection and 3D scanning techniques mixing technology and natural history. Looking at themes of migration and the curation of museum artefacts, the exhibition will be a visually stunning experience. The exhibition will be an amazing experience that will captivate visitors and shed new light on our collections.
