Revelation was created and curated by Dr Robert Anderson
Museum exhibitions have been available to the public in Britain for over 400 years. Their nature and purpose have changed greatly over this period, as have the buildings in which they have been housed.
In the early period exhibitions tended to display the natural world, but it was not long before collections built up to reveal ancient civilisations. In the 19th century, many exhibitions provided information on industry and manufacturing processes, while art galleries allowed the public to see works which previously were only in private collections. In recent times, the subject matter of exhibitions has proliferated, with a strong emphasis on education.
Revelation offers a brief but intriguing overview of an important aspect of our cultural life.

How to Win Against History
2025-07-23 18:30 - 20:30, 2025-07-24 18:30 - 20:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
Listed in the Guardian’s best arts and entertainment to see this summer!
Henry Cyril Paget was one of the world’s wealthiest men, until he lost it all by being too damn fabulous.
The 5th Marquis of Anglesey blew his family’s colossal fortune on diamond frocks, lilac-dyed poodles and putting on simply amazing plays – to which nobody came – causing a very Edwardian scandal. His fabulous flame burned brightly, briefly and extremely cross-dressingly until he died at just 29, after which his outraged family destroyed every record of him ever having had existed. Now Henry’s back to tell his regrettable cautionary tale, with nothing to his name but savage wit, banging belters and a metric tonne of sparkle.
This fierce and tragi-gorgeous comedy musical is a true story about expectations, masculinity, privilege and failure on an epic scale. It’s about feeling desperately weird and alone but knowing that to fit in would cost you everything.
How To Win Against History was the solid gold, diamante-studded hit of Edinburgh Fringe 2016, widely acclaimed by the critics and winner of The Stage Edinburgh Award and Broadway Baby Bobby. Now Bristol Old Vic and The Olivier Award-winning Producers of Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder!, Fleabag and Baby Reindeer are bringing it back in a new production: bigger and more sparkly than ever for 2025, marking the 150th anniversary of Paget’s birth.
He’s having a bit of a moment, and you’re all invited to his fabulous party.

TALK What the Normans did to ….. and for Norwich. Speaker: Adrian O'Dell
2025-07-24 19:30 - 21:00 | The Forum, Millennium Plain, Norwich, NR2 1TF
Norwich has always welcomed Strangers to its city but some have been more welcome than others. The Normans disrupted Anglo-Scandinavian life, breaking the 200-year link with Denmark and reconnecting with France and Europe.
Dominant new buildings were raised and the layout radically changed but the Normans brought order, recognition and prosperity.
This talk is part of the Norwich History Festival
Adrian O’Dell is the son of a Polish Air Force officer and a nurse from Lancashire and was educated at the City of Norwich School. After an international career in the oil industry, he ‘retired’ to Norfolk and has devoted himself to the study of Norfolk and Norwich’s history and heritage. He is a freelance city tour guide and was also a trustee of the Norfolk & Norwich Heritage Trust (Dragon Hall) before it was passed on to the National Centre for Writing. He has completed post-graduate studies in Landscape History at UEA. He is Chair of the Norfolk Polish Heritage Group which researches and archives stories of Polish immigration into Norfolk since World War II and has dual British/Polish nationality. Adrian has taken an active interest in the present plight of Poland’s neighbour Ukraine.

Hi, hope you’re ok.
My show is about hope. It’s also about mental illness, good liars, bad ideas, Lorraine Kelly and a gang lord forcing me to hold a raw chicken. But it’s mostly about hope.
I live with a complex mental illness called borderline personality disorder (BPD) and I started writing this, about that, in January 2020. It’s been a long 5 years, but I’m finally here. Please come. I wrote it for you.
