Exhibitions to see!

Grayson Perry 'The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman' 

I just went to see the Grayson Perry exhibition at 'The British Museum'. His exhibition was the most beautiful, intriguing, and fun exhibition that i have been to see in a long time. If you have not seen it go and see it!

His collection of work in this exhibition all focuses on the...i guess the best word to describe it is religion, or world that Perry created as a young boy. The central figure being his bear Andy Measles. The character of Andy plays a vital role throughout the collection. 

What i really loved about his work and the exhibition was that it was in one of Perry's favourite museums...The British Museum. He described it as being able to step out of London into the rest of the world. Along side his work was displayed artefacts, objects and art from the Museums collection that inspired that piece of work. 

There is so much to say about it and i know that i wont be able to do his work justice with my rambling but here is a selection of images of the exhibition.
