RAMM Late: Living Labyrinths

RAMM Late: Living Labyrinths takes over the Royal Albert Memorial Museum on Friday 20 November, an adults-only evening built around fungi. It's a mix of meditation, talks, music and art, and it's an after-hours take on the museum's current exhibition, Living Labyrinths: Art and Fungi, which runs until February 2027.

The exhibition itself brings together ceramics, glass, photography, painting, sound and textiles. Among them are Beatrix Potter's watercolours of fungi and Cy Twombly's 1974 Natural History, Part I, Mushrooms, on loan from the Tate. The evening draws on that, with exhibition artist Gemma Anderson-Tempini discussing her work Myco-Mother.

Beyond the art, the night pulls in the University of Exeter's MRC Centre for Medical Mycology and the charity Plantlife, so it's not just about the gallery walls. The fungi theme runs through the meditation and the talks, and the whole thing is aimed at adults, so it's a different way to experience the museum than a usual daytime visit.

It starts at 6.30pm, and tickets are £8, or £5 for students, through the RAMM website.
