Having seen this exhibition for ourselves, we urge you to see it for yourself!
"The free exhibition explores the events of the First and Second Cod Wars with a display of over 40 satirical newspaper cartoons, on loan from the Embassy of Iceland in London. The exhibition features many original pieces from some of Britain’s best newspaper cartoonists, collected by Niels P. Sigurðsson, Ambassador of Iceland between 1972 and 1976.
As part of the exhibition, there will also be a copy of the Queen’s first official portrait on display, which will be in place until the end of the year. The original portrait hangs in the Fishmonger’s Hall in London. Only two copies of the original portrait have been made for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre is fortunate enough to be one of the venues receiving a copy. The copy will stand at around 7ft tall and will be displayed in the Muriel Barker Gallery in the centre.
The exhibition will run from Thursday 9 June until the end of December between 10am and 4pm, except on Mondays."
