Exhibition: The Prize for Illustration 2017 'Sounds of the City'

New exhibition opens 19 May - 3 September

Lyrics and languages, hubbub and stillness, heritage and science have all inspired 100 illustrators to produce a collection of striking artworks that reflect their relationship with sound in our diverse and multi-layered cities.

Themes include wildlife, nightlife, music, markets, transport and sport. Visitors will enjoy illustrations that visually interpret the sounds we hear about us day and night – from a recognisable street and cityscape through to visual soundscapes of buzzing colour.

The one hundred works were chosen from over two thousand competition entries for the prestigious Prize for Illustration. The competition is open to illustrators and students of illustration throughout the world.

Exhibition admission is included in daytime Museum entry ticket.
