Space City

Leicester has long had its eyes on the stars. From the pioneering research at Space Park Leicester and the University of Leicester’s Space Lab, to the inspiring exhibitions at the National Space Centre, the city plays a vital role in the UK’s exploration of the universe.

This cosmic connection is celebrated in the work of artist Matt Turner, whose paintings explore the relationship between science and art, and draw from his time in Moscow and NASA.
