THE FUTURE WAS THEN
Look to the future – and the past – to explore comics that went beyond the final frontier and predicted what humanity would look like in years to come.
Will the Daleks invade in the year 2150? Did the space travel of Dan Dare or the dystopia of V for Vendetta come true in the 1990s? What will our future look like?
Take a journey through time and space and answer these questions and more!

DOES MY HEAD LOOK BIG IN THIS? THE ART OF PORTRAIT CARICATURE
23 May - 1 November 2026
Provocative, insightful, and rude, the caricaturist does the looking for us and hilariously reflects the society we live in, who we choose to vote for, and the personalities we celebrate.
Visitors are invited to celebrate the art of portrait caricature from its origins in Renaissance Italy to its outrageous Golden Age in 18th century England and into its popularity in the present day.
In this temporary exhibition, principally curated by Nicola Jennings, Chair of the British Cartoonists Association and the Cartoon Art Trust, visitors can examine the work of great caricaturists including Gerald Scarfe, David Levine, and André Carrilho among other notable artists.
This exhibition is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible by National Lottery players.
