Dundee is a small city but has a wonderful museum called
MacManus Art Gallery. its filled with Scottish history beautiful paintings and
regularly holds exhibitions. A friend and I recently went to the museum to have
a look since we both are artists we embraced being surrounded by such wonderful
pieces. It was interesting to see some of the items of clothing that people
used to wear years ago it just shows how far we have come in fashion, although
some of the shoes I would happily wear down the streets today.
There was an exhibition on while we were there called ‘Jeepers Creepers: The works of Eduardo Paolozzi from
Dundee Collections’ there
was only two pieces that really caught my eye while having a look, it was these
two frames that held small scraps of textiles, they are so fragile yet so
beautiful I just had to sneak a picture.
Not only is the
art work interesting the building has some interesting features, going up the
staircase was this wall hanging made from recycled wash bottles painted all
different colours and turned into lights. Such a simply idea but so effective.
Like the kids we are Lauren and I found a room where you could draw a picture
and dress up, well it’s for little kids but there was no one around to what the
heck we went for it. It was roman themed so we went crazy with the selfies and
having a laugh.
