What's new

Today I went to Manchester Art Gallery, and visited the Clore Interactive Gallery. It’s a fantastic fully interactive gallery about the art collections which is aimed at children but it’s lots of fun for adults as well. There’s some really well thought out exhibits, both computer and physical. I’m told the gallery opened in 2001 and I would say that it’s still at the forefront of interactive interpretation of art. One of my favourite exhibits was the one where you get to dress up and pose like a painting of two people climbing the Jungfraujock. In another where you have to sit very still to understand how it feels to have your portrait painted – move just a little bit and its ruined!
