Open Art Exhibition 2023 Immersive Art Experience - A Wonderous Odyssey Exhibition

On Saturday the 18^th of November The Detectives launched their final exhibition ‘A Wondrous Odyssey: exploring Doyle’s books “The Lost World” and “The Poison Belt ” through art’

The Detectives created a physical gallery of art based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books the Lost World and the Poison Belt. The exhibition was launched with a dazzling immersive art experience, a short projection show, repeated throughout the day. Immersive artist Will Lindley helped The Detectives animate their artwork as a kaleidoscope of images set to an impressive soundtrack of sounds which they created with Paul Weston. The result was a unique, vibrant multi-sensory experience which pulled visitors into some new interpretations of the 1^st books in the Professor Challenger series. The Detectives hope that their final project will raise awareness of the books.

Families enjoyed taking part in a range of craft activities including a dinosaur hunt and super challenge .

The art exhibition was shown between 18 November to 2 December at Central Library.

Copies of the Lost world, Poison Belt and other Professor Challenger stories are currently available at Central Library to borrow or reserve.
