Great revamp of the Milton Keynes gallery. The extension has given the space to attract more major artists and bigger more expansive shows that previously would have required a trip to London.The current Paula Rego show amply demonstrates the galleries new pulling power.
The addition of a new cafe with lite bites adds the finishing touch after soaking up all that culture.Lastly a well stocked gift shop with a lovely selection of books greets on your entrance and exit.
I look forward to more big named artists and touring exhibitions choosing Milton Keynes and using this wonderful space.
It s free for MK residents on a Tuesday. Just bring proof of address.
George Stubbs all done from nature is currently showing. It s worth going just to see Whistlejacket a magnificent picture that looks so modern due to lack of a background.
There are another 79 pictures, drawings and publications ranging from the Landed gentry to exotic animals and human dissection drawings as well as the skeleton of a horse that for some reason I was particularly drawn to. Well worth a visit if you like this period or you are interested in art featuring lots of animals.
