Glenn Brown’s two-site Bath exhibition opens today, led by Grottoesque at No.1 Royal Crescent. The show runs through September 6 and includes new large-scale works, a room transformed into a grotto, and a concurrent Holburne Museum presentation.
Glenn Brown’s two-site Bath exhibition opens today, with Grottoesque at No.1 Royal Crescent running from May 22 to September 6, 2026.
The presentation is part of Glenn Brown in Bath, a citywide project that pairs the Royal Crescent show with Brown in Bath: Arrows of Desire at the Holburne Museum.
According to the official museum and gallery materials, Grottoesque responds to Georgian shell grottoes, landscapes and the grotesque nature of trees. The No.1 Royal Crescent installation includes new large-scale works and a room transformed into a grotto.
The project has been framed as a homecoming for Brown, who studied at Bath School of Art and Design in the 1980s.
The opening adds a fresh institutional exhibition to Bath’s summer programme and gives the artist a rare two-site presentation across the city.
