Hungate Medieval Art

Founded in 2009, Hungate Medieval Art is a charity promoting Norfolk's colourful medieval history th

Hungate Medieval Art is a charity and as such relies upon donations & volunteers to run. All our exhibitions are free to attend, and are held in Hungate, which is the former St Peter Hungate Church, on Princes St, Norwich. The church has a special significance, having been the first parish church in the UK to reopen for secular use, after being declared redundant. It became a stand-alone space for

the display of church art in 1936. Back then it was called 'St Peter Hungate Museum of Church Art.'

Controversial in its day, we continue to honour our premise of providing something new and exciting in a space filled with history. Our exhibition and events programs are available on our page and website. Opening Times - From end March to end October (In normal years that is - please check the web for exact dates!)
Saturday: 10am - 4pm
Sunday: 1pm - 4pm

Open Now: 'A Company of Angels: Norfolk's Angel Roofs in the Making'
Saturday 10-4, Sundays 1-4, until July 12th.

This show, curated by our own Dr Sarah Cassell, and based on her academic research, explores when, how and why these extraordinary roofs - which survive mainly in East Anglia - were made, who made them, and for whom.

We’re looking forward to opening Glyn Brewerton’s show Church Going on Saturday 10th April. Inspired in part by Philip Larkin’s wonderful poem, Glyn explores the materiality and the atmosphere of church buildings, some still in use, others abandoned. Combining drawing and collage, the works are made from memory.
