Unique treasures from the Society of Antiquaries of London on tour around the UK for the first time in this special exhibition. Guest curated by celebrated historian Dr David Starkey CBE FSA, the exhibition explores the creation of the nation’s heritage over three hundred years since the Society was founded in a London tavern in 1707. Rarely seen objects from the Society’s collections include the Lindsey Psalter, a lock of Edward IV’s hair and part of a Roman bronze equestrian statue found in Lincoln. These will be displayed alongside objects from the museum’s own archaeological collections as well as some more recent finds to provide a narrative illustrating milestones in the discovery, recording, preservation, interpretation and communication of our past, both nationally and regionally.

Mystery In Stone Exhibition

2009-11-25T05:24:00.000-08:00

African Sculpture returns to The Terrace

An exhibition of Zimbabwean stone sculptures entitled ‘Mystery In Stone’ will be held at The Terrace, Grantham Street, Lincoln, from Tuesday 24th November until Friday 11th December
This highly expressive contemporary stone art of African artists, many of whom are from the Shona Tribe, Zimbabwae, speaks their deep concern, feelings and experiences of the environment around their cultural beliefs.

Zimbabwean stone sculpture is a profound, deeply human expression of the African people that transcends time and space. Sculptors say their ancestors' spirits come in dreams and visions to reveal themselves in images that dwell within the stone. The result is awe-inspiring sculptures, which tell tales of life.

The sculptures are organised around eight themes that represent shared human relationships, emotions and experiences. They represent: The Family, Custom and Legend, Social Comment, The Role of the Elders, The Spirit World, The Role of Women, Village Life, and Nature and Environment:

Keith Luckey Supervisor of The Terrace said, “It is a great honor for all of us at The Terrace to be able to host the return to Lincoln’s Cultural Quarter of this wonderful exhibition.”

The exhibition will be open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday between 24th November and 11th December, and additionally between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 5th December. Admission is free.

Finery & Filth @ The Terrace!

2009-11-02T02:42:00.000-08:00

Dante Ferrara presents an evening of Finery and Filth at Cafe Portico @ The Terrace, Grantham Street Lincoln on Friday 13th November 2009 at 7.30 pm. Experience a delightful hour of music and songs by Henry Purcell and other members of the 'Restoration Rat Pack' plus a ribald tale set in 1695.
This Lincoln artist comes highly recommended by Betty Cooper who had engaged Dante to perform to a group of highly respectable ladies who were swept away by his interpretation of restoration lute music and collasped into to laughter on hearing his cheeky performance of rude songs from this period. Definitely not suitable for those of a puritan disposition.
Cafe Portico also provide the good food and drink to accompany this entertaining, not to be missed evening.
Tickets £5.00 on the door. For further information call 07988 104373.
