Benedictine Art Project

Discover three new installations in the Cathedral Close which explore the Cathedral’s Benedictine heritage through contemporary art.

Enjoy a free exhibition of outdoor art

Norwich Cathedral’s beginnings as a Benedictine monastery continue to inspire life at the Cathedral in the 21st century, and our latest open-air exhibition explores the Cathedral’s Benedictine heritage past and present.

Three artists have teamed up with three local charities to create the artworks which reflect the Benedictine themes of healing and wholeness, hospitality and contemplative learning.

All are welcome to explore this free exhibition which features art in the Cloister, outside the Hostry, and in Almary Green.

The Cloak of St Martin– A large abstract recreation of the Church of St Ethelbert can be found in Almary Green, close to the Ethelbert Gate entrance to the Cathedral Close. This installation also combines a reminder of the cloak of St Martin.
