Refugees and Boats in the Lake District

Refuge: The Art of Belonging at Abbot Hall Gallery tells the story of artists who entered Britain as a result of Nazi occupation. This exhibition particularly focuses on the work of two artists who came to the Lake District during the Second World War: Hilde Goldschmidt (1897-1980), a successful Expressionist artist, and Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) who is widely recognised as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Schwitters was seen by the Nazis to be a 'degenerate' artist. Like most German artists, Schwitters was driven out of Germany by the Nazis, and fled to Ambleside, Cumbria. The exhibition will also include works by Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Oskar Kokoschka and Lucian Freud with a selection of loans from both public and private collections around the UK.
Lunch Available in Windermere Jetty cafe (not included)
Windermere Jetty Museum is a spectacular new museum on the shores of Windermere that showcases the sights, smells and sounds of life on the lake. Steam launches, sailing yachts, motor boats and record-breaking speed boats are exhibited in the boathouse, on the water, and in the exhibition galleries.
3.00pm join the ‘conservation conversation’ outside the conservation workshop to find out more about our collection of historic boats as they are painstakingly restored.
