Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery Exhibition
North Lincs Museum, Oswald Road

The Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery are bringing a selection of beautiful sacred artefacts for to exhibit at the Museum from Tuesday 2 December to Saturday 6 December. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the artefacts and speak to representatives from Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery, who will be on hand to guide visitors through each of the pieces. On display will be rare and sacred artefacts from the Holy Kaaba in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah.
The exhibition is being organised in partnership by North Lincolnshire Museum, Sheikh Ilyas of Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery, and Abid Khan from the Multifaith Partnership North Lincolnshire. This project has been made possible with the support of North Lincolnshire Council and The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of Cultural Futures, a multi-year project to increase arts, heritage and cultural opportunities for North Lincolnshire. Artefacts on display are often only possible to be viewed by making the journey to Mecca and will have a profound effect on the viewer. The exhibition will be of interest to people of all faiths and none, including those who have an appreciation of textile and calligraphic arts.

Ian Lee – 88 and Out
North Lincolnshire Museum on Oswald Road
Plate Mill Steelworks photography exhibition
North Lincolnshire based photographer Ian Lee worked for British Steel in various roles for 30 years.
In that time, he documented the history of the Scunthorpe Plate Mill, and later its demolition, after it had been decommissioned in 2015 after 88 years in service.
He compiled over 300 of these photographs, along with historical archive images, into a book called ‘88 and Out’. The sold-out book is being reprinted this year, to coincide with this exhibition.
The exhibition will feature photographs from the book, as well as objects, models and memorabilia from the Plate Mill. The exhibition also features photographs from the British Steel archive, which Ian has selected for the exhibition.
