Egg tempura painting of Pandora. She is surrounded by other characters also from Greek Mythology.

In Greek mythology, Pandora allowed all evil into the world after accidently opening a box. But is there a way that she can also be unboxed?

This exhibition features new artworks created by young Reading artists who were responding to the myth of Pandora, as depicted in a historic painting from the Collection.

Showing in the Staircase Hall Exhibition Space, these artworks are juxtaposed with the original painting.
