What's On

The Housemuseum Galleries

UPDATE: We regret to advise that the Galleries are temporarily closed to the public. We thank all of our patrons and visitors for their support during this difficult time and look forward to welcoming you to the Galleries when they reopen at a future time.

The Housemuseum Galleries at 217 Cotham Road opened in March 2019. The Galleries are a fully public and accessible space offering a new platform for exhibitions of international and local contemporary art, architecture and design, where new ways of presenting and experiencing art are explored. View our Events at Galleries page to see what's on.

Exhibition — 'A Drone Opera'

UPDATE: We regret to advise that the Galleries and current installation, 'A Drone Opera,' are temporarily closed to the public. We thank all of our patrons and visitors for their support during this difficult time and look forward to welcoming you to the Galleries when they reopen at a future time.

Matthew Sleeth’s cinematic installation explores a narrative of desire, fear and destruction as it unravels our complex relationship with technology. Featuring opera singers, custom-built drones and CIA footage, the film offers a poetic reflection of our anxieties surrounding surveillance culture.

'A Drone Opera' is on at the Lyon Housemuseum Galleries for two weeks only, 14 March–29 March, 2020. Don't miss this unique showcase of art, film and music.
