COMING TO HAMPSHIRE

Visit an exhibition in Southampton this autumn and add your footsteps to 
those of students and tourists, naturalists and painters, exiles and 
refugees, who came to Hampshire in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. 

Well known as a beautiful maritime county of ‘great natural advantages’, 
Hampshire has been visited, explored, and adopted by a vast range of 
people. They came to learn at a new university; to take the waters, or a 
picturesque tour; to admire the natural and physical beauties of the 
county – its flowers, animals, geology, meteorology. Where did they visit? 
How did they travel? Who were they? Not all visitors came by choice. The 
ports of Hampshire have welcomed many exiles and refugees over time that 
fled their homelands due to political and religious difficulties. This 
exhibition takes a look at those who arrived, and the Hampshire they 
found, using examples from the archives and special collections at the 
University of Southampton.

‘Coming to Hampshire’ runs from 15 October to 7 December 2007
The Special Collections Gallery, level 4, Hartley Library, University of 
Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, SO17 1BJ

Opening hours are 10.00 until 16.00, Monday to Friday
