The Exhibition 'Picturing the Past, has now opened and is on display at The Old Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology, Durham a branch of the University's Oriental Museum. The setting is right besides the River Wear beneath the Castle and Cathedral familiar from every picture postcard view of Durham.

Many thanks for posting the pictures Jasper!
Just to avoid confusion, the lower picture shows the exhibition when it was at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester last year.

Are they for sale or part of someone's permanent collection?

Well at the moment they seem destined to be part of my permanent collection as I have had no offers.
However in the short term I am trying to get them on display in as many venues as practicable as at least it gets them out of the house!

I'm not sure if I could afford it but the one with Aetius and the Hun would be sure to get a special place...

It would be great if they could come to The Netherlands somehow, especially with the Late Roman event in July and the Roman event in August...

I would be more than happy for the exhibition to travel to The Netherlands. Is that something you would be willing to organise Robert? It finishes in Durham at the end of May.
Ivan I have booked my holiday in Barcelona and Tarragona so I hope to see you there!

Shame I'm not local; can only imagine what shipping would cost. Still, is there a price list for them? You can send me off line if you'd like.

Hello Richard
The cost for this type of work seems to be around £300-350 for each artwork.

Thanks for replying Richard. I was beginning to think that as soon as I had mentioned money this thread was finished!
Hopefully the exhibition will travel further afield in the future

Graham,
Is there any chance of the exhibition coming to the U.S.?
