Stephen Cox: Myth

Houghton Hall

4 May to 28 September 2025

Stephen Cox: Myth is a major exhibition presented across the park, gardens and interiors of Houghton Hall, running from 4 May to 28 September.

The exhibition represents the largest and most comprehensive group of work the artist has ever shown. Spanning over 40 years, it includes work conceived and produced all over the world from India to Egypt, Italy and the UK.

More than 20 sculptures in marble and stone have been placed in the landscape, while smaller works are installed in the State Rooms on the first floor of the house, where William Kent’s exuberant decorative scheme has hardly changed since it was created in the early 18th century. A modern gallery space in the South wing of the house houses a group of works on paper together with a large marble and porphyry sculpture, Shrine, which was created for the celebrated Encounters exhibition at the National Gallery in 2000.
