Reflections

Saturday 12 September 2026 – Sunday 3 January 2027 | Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum

Reflections is an invitation to immerse yourself in the fluid beauty and immense power of water. The River Severn, the longest river in the UK, has shaped Worcester’s identity and industrial heritage for centuries – and continues to today.

Featuring works from Worcester City’s own collection as well as high profile loans from national collections and works by contemporary artists, Reflections inspires the imagination and serves as a reminder of the human responsibility to protect the seas, rivers, streams and waterways that are vital for the future.

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 4pm, and Sunday, 10am – 3pm. Last entry is one hour before closing.
