These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own rightone that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n  URL:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/event/from-the-collection-landscapes/2025-06-12/ LOCATION:Northampton Museum And Art Gallery\, 4-6 Guildhall Rd\,\, Northampton\, Northamptonshire\, NN1 1DP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dmas_fa1992_9_d01_960.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250612T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250612T213000 DTSTAMP:20260403T213807 CREATED:20250523T142925Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250523T142925Z UID:127025-1749753000-1749763800@www.discovernorthampton.co.uk SUMMARY:Board Games Night DESCRIPTION:As Eminem once said;” I’m standing on my Monopoly board which means I’m on top of my game” \nPlaying board games is fun\, engaging and nostalgic\, after all\, who didn’t play ‘Monopoly’ and ‘Trivial Pursuit’ when they were kids (and maybe still do)?! \nThis is a night designed for friends to meet up\, have a drink and play some games.

These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own rightone that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n  URL:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/event/from-the-collection-landscapes/2025-06-14/ LOCATION:Northampton Museum And Art Gallery\, 4-6 Guildhall Rd\,\, Northampton\, Northamptonshire\, NN1 1DP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dmas_fa1992_9_d01_960.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T213807 CREATED:20250530T094330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250530T094330Z UID:127197-1749898800-1749904200@www.discovernorthampton.co.uk SUMMARY:Vision board workshop with SENDsational families DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by SENDsational families \nReflect\, dream and create. \nOver 18s only URL:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/event/vision-board-workshop-with-sendsational-families/ LOCATION:Coconut Paradise\, 9 Gold Street Mews\, Northampton\, northamptonshire\, NN1 1RA\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-30-104008.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T213807 CREATED:20250609T144557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250609T144557Z UID:127585-1749898800-1749906000@www.discovernorthampton.co.uk SUMMARY:What is Northampton Made Of? - Film workshop.
