Heritage Open Days - Crime Club

About

Sunday 10 September 2023 | 2pm & 3pm
Venue: National Justice Museum
Free (limited capacity so booking recommended)

You may be familiar with Romantic landscape painter, Richard Parkes Bonington, who was born in Arnold (and has a Nottingham gallery named after him!). What you may not know is that his father, Richard Bonington, was a Gaoler here at Nottingham County Gaol before resigning to become an artist himself.

Join their Head Interpreter in full costume and character for a 30-minute, mini-Crime Club on Bonington's unusual journey from gaoler to painter, and how this may have inspired his son to become a famous artist.
