What families are saying…
“What an amazing resource to help make the art and sculptures accessible for children. My 2 year old loved the magnifying glasses, the clipboards and wooden materials.”
“I like how this place has lots of places to stop and try to create your own art” Edie, aged 9
“I think it’s a great way to interact and to express your creative side. It’s nice to sit down as a 22 year old and be childlike again.”
“Best art gallery ever! Lots of ways to interact and learn!”
“I think Barbara Hepworth has created wonderful pieces of art. She has inspired me to be an artist that never gives up.” Alex, age 10
