Step into the Spanish Gallery and explore world-class art, history and culture in the UK’s first gallery dedicated to the art and culture of the Spanish Golden Age.

Guided tours at 11 AM, Wednesday to Sunday.

Join us for an engaging discussion with Gemini Collection founders Dr. Robert McManners OBE and Gillian Wales as they explore the life and work of Ted Holloway, a former Bevin Boy whose art captures the grit and camaraderie of mining life.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this talk will reflect on the experiences of Bevin Boys during World War II and how Holloway’s time underground shaped his artistic vision. The event will include a Q&A session with Ted Holloway’s son, Jim Holloway, offering personal insights into his father’s life and legacy. Following the discussion, guests will have exclusive access to the Ted Holloway: A Bevin Boy Remembered exhibition at the Mining Art Gallery, offering a unique opportunity to see his powerful works up close.
