THE GALLERIES OF JUSTICE MUSEUM, in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, is to host an exhibition of images from Nottinghamshire as seen through the eyes of local photographer Gerry Molumby. The museum is the home of the Villainous Sheriff of Nottingham so it is appropriate that images of the Shire Hall and Nottingham Castle are included in this unique display of familiar scenes.
Gerry has lived in the UK for over 30 years and has worked in health and social care all that time. He is married to Fiona and has a son Cormac, their home is in the north Nottinghamshire village of Selston from where he gets some of his inspiration, such as the nearby Felley Priory and Newstead Abbey. His images are often featured in the Evening Post and on the weather pages of BBC and ITV. He is also involved with the Federation of Irish Societies and the Nottingham St.Patrick’s Festival and produces Irish concerts and plays – all of which are on his website: www.triskellion.org.uk. Speaking about his new exhibition Gerry commented: ‘I am delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit my images at Nottingham’s foremost tourist attraction as it lends itself magnificently as a backdrop to my images. I have always loved photography and we have so many beautiful new and old buildings in Nottingham so I take my camera with me everywhere I go!’.
The images are on display in the gallery area of the Friar Tuck cafe throughout the summer holidays and create an excellent ambience to be enjoyed with coffee and cake! The canvases can be purchased direct from the photographer and are available in two sizes: 20″ X 28″ priced at £85.00, including packaging and postage and medium, 20″ X 15″ priced at £45.00, including packaging and postage. They can be ordered online from the website or by email: fmolumby@aol.com and Gerry’s contact telephone number is: 01773 863217.
Tim Desmond, Chief Executive Officer at the Galleries of Justice Museum said ‘ The Galleries of Justice Museum is a champion of Nottinghamshire and we are delighted to display pictures that highlight the history and beauty of the area’.
