Inspired by the exhibition 'Treasures of Hyde Abbey' which runs concurrently in the Winchester Discovery Centre (6 March to 2 May) this extensive show brings together painting, sculpture, photography, glass, textiles, ceramics, metalwork, engraving, calligraphy and sound installations to offer a contemporary response to the idea of objects with a spiritual and historical significance.
