What, as humans, is our relationship to the sea? Over the centuries, many artists have explored this question through different subject matter, themes and media. The sea, while fascinating us, remains mysterious and elusive, sometimes tranquil and inviting, at other times, tumultuous and unpredictable.

This exhibition brings together historic, modern and contemporary works by British artists from the Government Art Collection. It addresses complex stories of exploration, migration and climate change that have shaped both the UK and the world. It invites us to question not only how the sea continues to shape our coastlines, but also ourselves as individuals and communities.

Artists: Roger Ackling, Simon Bayliss, Samuel and Nathaniel Buck, Chila Kumari Singh Burman, Mohini Chandra, EVEWRIGHT, Anya Gallaccio, Lubaina Himid, Tess Jaray, Thomas Luny, Will Maclean, Zethu Maseko, Paul Nash, William Pye, Bridget Riley, Ro Robertson, Zineb Sedira, Emma Stibbon and Joseph William Mallord Turner.

Please note:

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
