The Bront Parsonage Museum itself became a work of art when a set of moorland-inspired images was projected on to the front of the building.

The projections, entitled Leaving Home, were illuminated on to the faade of the museum on Friday to mark the 150th anniversary of Charlotte Bront's death.

The exhibition, which runs until the end of the month, included a number of moorland images, with scenes of waterfalls, clouds and sheep.

Photographer and video artist Simon Warner created the exhibition. It will continue with interior video projections in different rooms of the parsonage.

One of the shots features silhouetted profiles of the Bront children playing with toy soldiers and acting out scenes from their childhood writing.

The exhibition has been funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.

Andrew McCarthy, audience development manager at the museum, said: "We are very excited about this project and very grateful to the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation for its support.

"The exhibition will continue the work we are doing, not only to increase people's awareness and understanding of the Bronts, but to establish the museum as a centre for contemporary creativity.

"We want to add to the traditional methods of displaying the museum and try to reflect the remarkable creative energies that were generated during the Bronts' time."
