Jason and the Adventure of 254

Jason and the Adventure of 254 is part of the programme at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge in Canterbury: “A major solo exhibition by artist Jason Wilsher-Mills” that turns the gallery into a hospital ward of giant, brilliantly patterned sculptures, and invites you to touch them.

What to expect:

• Saturday 12 December 2026 to Sunday 30 May 2027, “Closed Mondays”
• “There are interactive push-button lights, and you can touch everything in the exhibition.”
• “touch them gently and do not climb on the sculptures”
• “a joyful exploration of the body, drawing on the artist’s experience of becoming disabled as a child”
• Sculptures, illustrations and interactive dioramas, “inspired by 1980s TV” with “a touch of magic realism”
• Special Exhibitions Room, first floor; the museum is free to enter and “Donations encouraged”
• Open Tue–Sat 10am–5pm and Sun 11am–4pm; check seasonal hours over Christmas
• A touring exhibition organised by Wellcome Collection
