Face Value: New Exhibition at Bethlem Gallery & Annual Sunfayre

On 3rd July, a new exhibition opens at the Bethlem Gallery, showcasing young people's artwork on the theme of identity. Young artists from Bethlem Adolescent Unit, Bromley Pupil Referral Service (Kingswood) and Hayes School visited the Museum to view a variety of portraits from the collection, before using a variety of creative media to generate their own artwork. The exhibition runs until 26 July, and will be open on the day of the Bethlem Sunfayre.

The annual site open day takes place this year on Saturday 6 July, with activities and events running from 12 - 5pm. There will be live music, stalls, complementary therapies, free children's entertainment, refreshments, exhibitions, talks, tours and art workshops. This year, the Archives and Museum will have a marquee, allowing us to offer additional exhibitions, talks on the History of Bethlem and to showcase the plans for the new Museum of the Mind. Museum staff will be on hand at all times to answer your questions and listen to your feedback. We look forward to seeing you there!

Face Value opens 3 July, 3 - 6pm

Exhibition continues: 4 - 26 July, Wednesday - Friday, 11am - 6pm
