Mathematical Mirrors — an exhibition of great art reimagined in a mathematical landscape @ Lauderdale House
Nov 30 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.

These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.

Note that the exhibition is scheduled to open daily from 12 noon to 4pm but may be closed for private events at short notice. Please check with Lauderdale House before your visit on 020 8348 8716.

“A beautiful display of circus-infused creativity”

Following the success of last year’s run, our adaptation of Tove Jansson’s The Fir Tree — Christmas Comes to Moominvalley — returns to delight audiences of all ages!

The Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep to be told that ‘Christmas’ is coming. The only trouble is, the puzzled Moomins have no idea who, or what ‘Christmas’ is . . .

Audiences will be captivated by the lovable Moomintroll, his parents, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and all their friends, with breathtaking circus, stunning imagery, enchanting storytelling, and magical music. The Moomin family demonstrate their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they prepare for their first Christmas – helping us understand what the festive season is really all about.

Mathematical Mirrors — an exhibition of great art reimagined in a mathematical landscape @ Lauderdale House
Dec 11 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.

These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.

“A beautiful display of circus-infused creativity”
— Curtain Call 

Following the success of last year’s run, our adaptation of Tove Jansson’s The Fir Tree — Christmas Comes to Moominvalley — returns to delight audiences of all ages!

The Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep to be told that ‘Christmas’ is coming. The only trouble is, the puzzled Moomins have no idea who, or what ‘Christmas’ is . . .

Audiences will be captivated by the lovable Moomintroll, his parents, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and all their friends, with breathtaking circus, stunning imagery, enchanting storytelling, and magical music. The Moomin family demonstrate their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they prepare for their first Christmas – helping us understand what the festive season is really all about.

For ages 3-103

Produced especially for The Moomins 80th anniversary and as part of Jacksons Lane’s 50th birthday programme. Previews take place on the 5th December 2025.
