Follow in Turner’s footsteps in this world-class exhibition which traces the artist’s 1797 tour across the North of England.

It is clear from his very first visit that Turner had fallen under the spell of our sensational Cumbrian landscape as he visited the region’s spectacular lakes, mountains and castles. The visit ignited his passion to further explore the more dramatic scenery and mountains in Wales, Scotland and the Alps on his subsequent tours. This exhibition includes some of the very first mountain-themed works that Turner exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, along with later watercolours that reveal his development as a visionary painter and a poet of the landscape sublime. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these ground-breaking works depicting Cumbria and the Lake District, Northumberland, County Durham and Yorkshire in close proximity to the landscape that inspired them.

Tullie House is the second in a three-venue tour across the North of England, which is supported by the Weston Loan Programme, and includes breath-taking watercolours of Ullswater, Windermere and Buttermere Lake. This extraordinary collection including loans from the Turner Bequest at Tate presents a wonderful opportunity to explore Turner’s visionary genius.

Local school children are also being inspired by landscapes in our Turner School Art Competition - the top 10 entries will be displayed alongside the exhibition!

Tickets: Normal admission charges apply - free for Annual Ticket holders.

2019 commemorates the 350th anniversary of the death of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), one of the most recognised and admired artists of all time.

To mark the occasion, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is proud to present an exhibition celebrating the artist’s ground-breaking etching work. Featuring a stunning selection of original etchings from the prestigious British Museum collection, these important works reveal a rare insight into the Dutch artist’s development, experimentation and pioneering role in the field of etching. The exhibition will give visitors a unique opportunity to see several important works on paper not seen before in Carlisle. Drawing on the Tullie House collection, the exhibition also considers the influence of Rembrandt on contemporary artists, comparing prints by prominent artists such as French Realist and Impressionist painters Millet and Pissarro, among others.

Tickets: Normal admission charges apply - free for Annual Ticket holders.

The story of the navvies and how they changed the landscape of Cumbria and South West Scotland By John Anstey | 3 September

Britain’s industrial development saw the building of a vast network of canals in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

It will look at a few selected examples of their work in Cumbria and South West Scotland, including the construction of the greatest munitions factory in the world!
