The Mobile Museum, a collaboration with Art Explora, Tate and MuMo, starts its second tour of the UK by bringing art to school children and young people, community groups, care home residents and adults from all backgrounds across the Midlands and the North.
The Mobile Museum first toured across the Liverpool City Region, including St Helens, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and Halton in 2023. It showed a version of the Tate Liverpool exhibition Radical Landscapes.
This time the Mobile Museum is travelling to the Midlands and the North to share a specially curated exhibition Soup, Socks and Spiders! Art of the Everyday, an exploration of the ‘still life’ genre. The exhibition brings together contemporary and historic works of art from the Tate national collection that present everyday objects in unexpected ways. The Mobile Museum presents artworks by artists including Vanessa Bell, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Nam June Paik, Cornelia Parker and Wolfgang Tillmans.
The tour will bring works from Tate’s collection directly to communities across the Midlands and the North. Public tours and workshops will be available. To find out more, visit the Art Explora website.
Art Explora, in collaboration with Tate and MuMo, is touring works of art from the Tate Collection directly to communities in Nuneaton, Walsall, Ashfield, Wigan, Rotherham, Stoke-on-Trent, Tarporley and Runcorn for the first time. MuMo was founded by Ingrid Brochard, designed by matali crasset, with the support of the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso. This project is supported by Art Explora.
