BRICK WONDERS OPENS 3 JULY

Lego 3

The East Riding Museums team are thrilled to announce that the Brick Wonders exhibition, curated by artist Warren Elsmore, will open at Beverley Art Gallery from Saturday 3 July through to Saturday 2 October 2021.

Brick Wonders features recreations in LEGO® bricks of amazing sights from around the world. Beginning with the seven wonders of the ancient world, the exhibition also takes in modern, natural, and historic wonders from all seven continents. Brick Wonders takes visitors from an Egyptian pyramid to the natural pyramid of the Matterhorn, the bustle of Old London Bridge to the awesome night skies of the Aurora Australis, and those everyday marvels we forget to wonder at, such as electricity and the Internet.

It's completely free to attend, you just need to

book a time slot here

to ensure we keep numbers in the gallery at safe levels.

You can visit as many times as you like too! 

Wow! Said the Owl - Fun for Under 5s

Wow! Said the Owl

In Tim Hopgood's much-loved picture book, WOW! Said the Owl, a little owl decides to stay awake in the day and is wowed by the bright colours that she encounters for the first time in the nature around her.

Sadly, because of the pandemic restrictions it hasn't been possible for Beverley Art Gallery to host the hands-on, sensory exhibition designed for under 5s and their families, but we hope you'll enjoy finding out more about the curious little owl in the story.

Click here to hear the story, see Tim Hopgood creating his artwork and join in with some brilliant activities.
