Museums Sheffield Friends Autumn Newsletter Graves Gallery Leader House, Surrey Street Sheffield S1 2LH Tel: 0114 278 2610 Museums Sheffield Friends Autumn Newsletter [email protected] www.museums-sheffield.org.uk September 2018 Dear Friends, Graves Gallery Welcome to your autumn newsletter. I hope you all had a wonderful summer and got the chance to visit some of our exhibitions, including the spectacular Circus! Show of Shows and the National Portrait Gallery exhibition, Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography, endorsed by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge. Since Circus! Show of Shows opened at Weston Park Museum in July it’s had a fantastic response from both our visitors and the press, and we were very pleased to welcome so many guests to the exhibition launch event. As a Friends member you receive exclusive invitations to all of our exhibitions launches and we love to see you at those and our other events. During the summer, we also celebrated the anniversary of our Friends Circle membership. Friends Circle members were invited to attend a drinks reception and curator tour of Victorian Giants with Dr Sabina Jaskot-Gill, Curator of Photographs at The National Portrait Gallery. Dr Sabina provided a detailed and revealing insight into the exhibition and explained the personal and professional connections between the four ground-breaking photographers. “We were very impressed with the introduction that Sabina Jaskot-Gill gave. We would never have gained as much from the exhibition without her expert and entertaining talk and tour.” Friends Circle Member If you would like to find out more about upgrading to our Friends Circle membership get in touch – my contact details are below. Circus! Show of Shows Co-curator, Professor Vanessa Toulmin, and Lord Mayor of Sheffield Mayor, Magid Magid are standing next to one of the world’s most famous circus paintings - Degas’ Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando. The painting comes to Sheffield on loan from the National Gallery. Mel Russell, Friends Co-ordinator T: 0114 278 2610 E: [email protected] Museums Sheffield Friends Week 2018 Over 55 Friends took part in Friends Week 9–13 July; a special week of events to thank Friends for their valuable and continued support. Throughout the week Friends had the opportunity to experience a variety of specially curated events, activities, talks and tours. One of the highlights was a behind the scenes look at Museums Sheffield collections store. Friends had the chance to meet curators and take a closer look at some the collection not currently on display. Comments from Friends: “Once again thank you very much for organising this week and especially Tuesday's trip…the visit to the stores certainly didn’t disappoint” “Thank YOU very much for organising this - and your colleagues in the archives for spending time showing us around. We really enjoyed it - I could spend days there! We are very impressed that Sheffield owns items of international importance as well as local.” “It was a great experience - well organised with knowledgeable and personable professionals”. Friends were also treated to an afternoon cruising along, and exploring the history of the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, which opened on 22 February 1819. Love being a Friend Why not tell your friends and family about us, and recommend them joining Friends. A Friends membership makes a unique and perfect gift for a loved one too.
