‘A Sense of Wonder’ Exhibition and Auction

The interactive ‘A Sense of Wonder’ exhibition is a good Christmas outing for the whole family. Your little ones will love it! Discover an audio-visually rich exhibition in a garden-like setting where you can interact with life-size robot figures. See the lenticular prints where the image changes as you walk by, and have fun with augmented reality Instagram filters. The exhibition opens every Wednesday to Sunday. Learn more and book your visit.

If you want to take the robots home, remember to make your bids at the online auction by 11 December. All exhibits must go, and the proceeds will go to Pitzhnager Manor & Gallery Trust to help us to inspire communities with art and design. Start bidding now.

Get Messy at the New Project — Mini Makers!
