WHAT'S ON AT THE MUSEUM


The museum has a lively programme of events open to all. Please see below for what's on at the museum.

'Whispers From Nature' Exhibition
5 Apr. 2025 - 29 Nov. 2025


Event category: Exhibition

Price: Entry with Admission
Location: The Stained Glass Museum, South Triforium, Ely Cathedral, Ely, CB7 4DL
Whispers From Nature
‘Whispers from Nature’ brings together glass works Warboys has made using her Muller technique. Associations ripple through the resulting images. Marks seem to reference the interior of bodies, their map of veins and capillaries, while simultaneously suggesting the cartography of terrain. Circular, enclosed forms can be indicative of a womb or a nest while also evoking an ammonite’s spiral and the swirl of the Milky Way. These works are enigmatic, not settling to a single representation, instead overlaying imagery suggestive of biology, geology and cosmology within the boundaries of a single glass pane.
