Whitehaven’s Beacon Museum will host two new exhibitions from next month.
Ian Andrews – The Sketchbook and the Collider draws links between fine art and particle physics.
It will run alongside Cumbria Thro’ The Lens, a collection of photographs captured by Copeland Photographic Society and Workington Camera Club.

The multi-media event runs from February 5 until April 24.
There will also be various events connected to the Ian Andrews exhibition.
