Family Open Day 2008

Art, Music and Fantasy

Saturday 31 May
10 am – 5 pm

Come to our fantastic Open Day, where you will be able to meet famous artists, hear marvellous music and take part in a feast of fun activities. Visit the Belgian painter Magritte in his Surreal Studio, and see Paul Gauguin as he shows us his painting Bathers at Tahiti in Art Alive! You can make a dream-catcher and a mask in our hands-on workshops, and help us to complete our enormous Fantasy Floral Collage. Award-winning Annamation will be on hand to tell tales of Barber paintings and coins, and you will be able to make up your own stories with them too! There will be music throughout the day, including a chamber orchestra performance of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite—which tells five fabulous fairytales—and a lively performance on the terrace from a dixie jazz band. A great time for the whole family!
