Art Unwrapped takes a painting from the Ulster Museum's collection to exhibit in the city centre and reach new audiences.

Art Unwrapped 2025 is the eighth annual ‘gift to the city’ exhibition aiming to bring to the widest possible public, rarely seen paintings from museum and private collections. This is your opportunity to have a free guided interpretive tour of a renowned artwork by Fine Art Students of Ulster University in an intimate gallery location on the new Ulster University Belfast campus.

For 2025, Art Unwrapped will explore two different works of art by T P Flanagan and his special connection with Seamus Heaney, marked by the display of Heaney's poem, Christmas Eve.

The works chosen for Art Unwrapped 2025 are

  • Autumn Lough, 1961 and Weir on the Blackwater River, County Cork, 1993
  • By Terence Philip Flanagan (1929-2011) from the collection of the Ulster Museum.
