Victorian Double Action
There was a good turn-out for Keith Oran’s gallery talk on The Highland Laddie’s Return last week – it was standing room only for a couple of us. Keith donned his Scottish kilt for the occasion, but we were all too polite to ask him the obvious question about what he was wearing underneath!
On Saturday 22nd August there will be another gallery talk at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in which Keith will be talking about a locally made double action revolver from the gallery’s collection. For the experts amongst you, that would be the Beaumont-Adams Double Action Revolver and it was made in the late 1850′s. This will be held at 11am and again at 1pm – just turn up.
Also coming up, and based around another Victorian object from our collection is the Funky Fan workshop, which is one of our family events. Learn how to make a fan to take home – it will keep you cool through our sizzling Summer! Drop in to Wolverhampton Art Gallery anytime between 11am and 1pm on Monday 24th August – there will be a small £2 charge to cover materials.
