Display space

Do you have photographs, art, poster displays or hobby crafts you would like to exhibit?  We are always on the lookout for new displays and exhibits - anything with a visual appeal that you feel passionately about or think might interest or educate other people.  We are really happy to help you think about what your display might look like, put it up and take it down afterwards. 

The Library is one of the busiest venues of campus and your display will enjoy attractive natural lighting and a high footfall of visitors.  Any student, staff member or person associated with the University can display their work.  If you are thinking about putting together a display we would love to hear from you, so please get in touch.

Details and dimensions of our display boards and cabinets are available as a downloadable pdf guide.

Follow the links below for photographs of recent displays.  Older exhibitions can be found in our archives.

 

Urban Harmony: where nature and humanity intertwine

An exploration of the people of the world through photography, this exhibition by Portsmouth alumnus and travel photographer Md Abdulla Al Mamun captures the unexpected moments where humanity and nature come together, from dogs adoring children in Dhaka and pigeons walking beside their companions in London, to cats finding comfort in the arms of booksellers in bustling city streets of Istanbul. 

Now showing in the University Library

Urban harmony is now showing in the University Library until 15 March 2025. 

Members of the public are welcome to view the exhibition but please see our visitor information before you visit.

Learn more about the exhibition, the photographer behind the images, and visitor information.
