"Silver is a seductive, glamorous material and the centrepiece is one of its most wondrous uses.” - Leeds City Council website, Temple Newsam

Showstoppers takes two iconic centrepieces from Temple Newsam’s historic silver collection and presents them alongside contemporary masterpieces by artists Junko Mori and Miriam Hanid.

The exhibition showcases the continuation and reinvention of traditional silversmithing techniques and celebrates women in silver, as makers and owners.
