About

Explore the Laing after hours with a self-led trail highlighting works from the collection which have been inspired by the drama and beauty of night.

From romantic twilight landscapes and glowing street scenes to shadowy nocturnal dreamscapes and ink-black skies, see how artists throughout the centuries have captured the magic and melancholy of darkness. Plus the chance to create your own night scene with a self-led activity for children (and the young at heart!).
