Exhibitions at The British Museum:
Celts: art and identity
24 September 2015 – 31 January 2016
Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery
£16.50, Members/under 16s free
This is the first major exhibition to examine the full history of Celtic art and identity, and is organised in partnership with National Museums Scotland. It is a story that unfolds over 2,500 years and across Britain and Europe – from the Atlantic coast to the Black Sea. Beginning with the first recorded mention of ‘Celts’ and ending with an exploration of Celtic expression today, uncover the wider picture of how this identity has been reinvented and revived over the centuries – as fluid as a Celtic motif.
