BOLTON Museum and Art Gallery has an exciting line-up of exhibitions and events lined up for the coming months.

The Lancashire Landscape exhibition, which runs until July 9, showcases the gallery's collection of oils, watercolours and prints to take visitors on a journey through the county, depicting the sea, windswept moorland and forest scenes.

The display also shows which mammals, birds, insects and plants can be found across Lancashire, and features specimens alongside the landscapes where they might be found.

A Recent Acquisitions collection is also showcasing the works of art which have been added to the Museum's collection over the past 10 years.

This is the first opportunity to see the most recent acquisitions of works by Prunella Clough, Edward Bawden, Cedric Morris and Winifred Nicholson.

From this Saturday until May 7, an exhibition of glass replica sea creatures called The Glass Aquarium will also be staged.

The display consists of creatures fashioned by the 19th century German glassworker Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolf. The Blaschkas made thousands of models of squids, sea slugs, cuttlefish and other sea creatures for natural history museums all over the world.To accompany the exhibition, there will be a talk celebrating some of the most weird and wonderful creatures ever seen.

The talk in the lecture theatre on Saturday at 1.30pm will look at living animals as well as extinct species revealed in some of the rarest fossils.
