Exhibitions Unpacked: The Lindisfarne Gospels at Laing Art Gallery

The Lindisfarne Gospels is the most spectacular manuscript to survive from Anglo-Saxon England. Crafted on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the book represents the golden age of design and craftsmanship in Northumbria and has survived in almost perfect condition for over one thousand years. The Lindisfarne Gospels feature in a contemporary exhibition about its meaning in the world today and its relationship with themes of personal, regional and national identity. In this Exhibitions Unpacked episode, the team at the Laing Art Gallery introduce and explain the process behind the creation of the exhibition which begins with an immersive digital experience and includes a stunning selection of early medieval treasures brought together from across Britain, representing both personal and collective religious experiences in the 8th century. A selection of paintings, drawings and photographs further explore how art and spirituality has developed in the centuries since the Lindisfarne Gospels were created. A highlight of the exhibition includes a new film by Turner Prize winning artist, Jeremy Deller. The plan to display the Gospels in Newcastle was co-ordinated by the North East Culture Partnership and the British Library. The Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition is on display at the Laing Art Gallery until 3 December 2022. Admission charges apply.
