14 Jan-10 Apr: ROMAN SEXUALITY Friday 14 January - Sunday 10 April 2011
Weston Gallery
ROMAN SEXUALITY - Images, Myths and Meanings
GALLERY OPENING TIMES
Co-curated by Clare Pickersgill, University of Nottingham Museum, Dr Paul Roberts, Department of Greece and Rome, British Museum in collaboration with Manuscripts and Special Collections, University of Nottingham.
This exhibition brings together a wide variety of sexual images from Roman art and archaeology and investigates what they meant to those who made and used them. It begins by looking at how Victorian attitudes have affected the way we have collected, displayed and studied these objects including the centrepiece of this exhibition, The Warren Cup. This Roman silver cup, decorated with scenes of homosexual love, is one of the highlights of the British Museum and is central to a wider discussion on sex and sexuality in the Roman world. The exhibition also looks at concepts of sacred and profane love, and the gods, goddesses and myths associated with sexuality. Finally, objects are displayed which to modern eyes may appear to be sexual but which to Roman eyes were not. Instead these objects were filled with other meanings to the Romans, such as fertility, superstition and humour.
This exhibition contains objects from the collections of the British Museum and University of Nottingham alongside pieces from Nottingham City Museums and Galleries and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge.

Review title : Them with Frozen Tails, added by : Lisa (21/12/2010)
Event reviewed : 4-30 Dec: Them With Frozen Tails
"When you take two children under 6 to a performance, you never quite know what reaction you are going to get. However, I have to say with all honesty that I have never seen my son laugh so much at the antics of two people as I did today.
Them with Frozen Tails is a partly-improvised series of stories from around the World, narrated and acted by two very fine actors. There was singing and lots of energy and humour (some of which went over the kids' heads but was appreciated by the adults!)
There was plenty of audience participation and, I think it's safe to say, that the show was enjoyed by everyone there.
I would absolutely recommend this show, either as an alternative to the usual pantomime or, because its very good value for money at £7 per person, or as well. We will definitely be back for more if the show returns next year."
