      Anstee’s RAMMYRIORAMA

      Mark Anstee’s RAMMYRIORAMA is a play on the concept of Victorian spectacles known as Myrioramas. Pre-dating film, these monumental scrolls unwound to reveal painted panoramas of great historic events, heroic battles or epic journeys through newly discovered foreign lands.

      Mark has produced a hand-painted Poster advertising the RAMMYRIORAMA, promising a grand tour of the world as seen through RAMM’s World Cultures collection.

      Artists Reflections:

      During 2014-15 RAMM invited four artists to create responses to the museum collections.  Mark Anstee’s reflection on world cultures is the second and follows Polly Morgan’s response to natural history. The list of artists was drawn up last year by RAMM’s Contemporary Arts Panel, in consultation with Arts Council England and the Arts Council Collection at Southbank Centre.  Artists Reflections is funded from RAMM’s Arts Council England major partner museum funding in 2014/15.
