Damien Hirst is no stranger to controversy. The bad boy of British art is renowned for whipping up a storm and dividing critics… and that’s exactly what he’s done with his latest show at the Venice Biennale. Treasure from the Wreck of The Unbelievable is an epic event […]
Seville is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Lying in the heart of Andalucia, it makes for a perfect long weekend break with its heady mix of world-class architecture, artistic treasures, flamenco and great food. It’s an easy getaway from the UK with flights taking under three hours which means that […]
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]

It’s the heavyweight fight of the year in London. Turner at the Tate has been battling it out with Rembrandt at the National Gallery in the big battle of the exhibition season. It’s a closely fought affair as the two artistic greats compete for the title of most popular Old Master! Crowds […]
Light and colour radiate from artist Daniel Buren’s illuminating show at The Baltic in Gateshead. What a thrill to be bathed in a rainbow of colours as you walk through the gallery’s spaces. Before arriving at the exhibition, you’re in for a sensory treat with a wall of colour on […]
Visiting a fabulous art gallery or museum should be one of life’s great pleasures but what happens when the experience is ruined by rampaging coach parties, screaming children and petty irritations? People having loud conversations on mobile phones, breast feeding mothers, and badly behaved teenagers are some of […]
