Katie Lloyd from the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund, talking about 'A Variety of Cultures' Exhibition and Apples & People.
The exhibition runs at the Museum of Cider in Hereford until 28th January 2024.
'A Variety of Cultures' is a landmark exhibition for the Museum of Cider. A must-see for everyone interested in art, everyone who likes apples, and anyone looking for positive international connections in these troubled times.
Exploring how cultures across the globe have taken the apple and made it their own. This exhibition brings important international artworks to the Museum of Cider in Hereford.
One of the highlights is a large collection of nineteenth century Australian model apples lent by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew that have never before been seen outside London.
There is also work by New Zealand pop artist Billy Apple, Chinese art including a Cultural Revolution poster courtesy of the Ashmolean Museum, and a new commission by Anglo-French artist Anne Rook who has created a body of work which looks at the iconography associated with varieties of apples.
