Beyond the Beach Huts:
Strange Visions of Lyme Regis
28th November 2023- 28th January 2024
In a fascinating exhibition in Lyme Regis Museum’s Rotunda
Gallery, artist Dave Wicken will be sharing with visitors the fruits
of his surreal imagination as he portrays the Jurassic Coast in a
style halfway between drawing and photography.
“ have been shooting and processing my own photographs as well as
producing pen and ink drawings for most of my life,” explains Dave,
“but a few years ago it occurred to me that I could combine the
two.” He still uses pen and ink in the traditional way, but
adds colour and texture with software.I
Inspired by the coastal scenery around Lyme Regis, Dave started
wondering what may have inhabited the place long ago and what may
occur there in the future. His image of a ten-times life-size blue
whale, leaping from the sea and about to crush Lyme Regis under its
bulk, was inspired by a nightmare he had when he was four years old,
but his photomontage of Lyme slipping into a vast chasm in the
‘Great Landslip of 2039’ is hopefully pure fantasy.
Tuesdays- Saturdays from 10am until 5pm/Sundays 10am-4pm; check

charges.

 Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis's famous fossil walks along this historic stretch
of Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
Learn all about Mary Anning, the famous early paleontologist who once lived on the site of the museum and much more
Each walk is limited to 15 people per guide. Start times for walks vary according to the tides and take about three hours.
