The new exhibition entitled 'Present Tense' is now open. I went along yesterday with my 4 year old grandson to have a look, he along with the other schoolchildren there, bounced around enjoying some images and ignoring others. He was particularly fascinated by John Greenwood's 'Rings and Strings and Things', I wish he was old enough to come to the talk on the 19th of March and find out more.
Do go along and have a look at the exhibition, it's as we have come to expect, beautifully assembled and presented.
