Postponement of Birmingham February trip
Hi all
I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area
This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.
I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.
Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.
I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .
Another art event will be available soon.
January 19th Victoria Gallery and Museum.
Friday January 2024 Join Art with our Curator Amanda Draper, as she explores the work of Fanchon Fröhlich. Abstract Expressionist, Philosopher and Physicist, Fanchon creates her own quantum realms within her art, questioning the notions of observation, existence, and aesthetics. Anna will explore the work of Fröhlich’s contemporaries and their connections to the artists’ practice, in order to contextualise her abstract thinking.
11.am train to central then either bus / taxi or walk up to Victoria Gallery and Museum Ashton Street Liverpool L69 3DR, at back of Metropolitan Cathedral
arrival time 12.noon for lunch if required? tour. 1.30 pm
