Ever felt like you don’t fit in? Then you’ll find yourself right at home in this place. Established as a beacon to all ‘outsider’ artists, the Museum of Everything is the kind of place you could come to for a hug and a cuppa.
On display in this unique pop-up gallery will be Sir Peter Blake’s mind-boggling collection of personal paraphernalia. Literally the fruit of a lifetime’s gathering, these are objects from which he has taken much inspiration over the years and they tell an amazing story. Victorian taxidermy, Elvis memorabilia, vintage circus and fairground clobber and a pair of shoes worn by celebrity Victorian dwarf General Tom Thumb are all part of the exhibit along with a cracking selection of Blake’s own work.
Love Art Londoners will be taking a close look at what it’s all about through the eyes of the weird and wonderful folk who run the show. And yes, they might give you a hug and a cuppa too.
This event is for Members Only (25 places)
