The Film POP exhibition is relevant to anyone with interest in how artists took film characters and themes as references for their art. Not to be missed.
I've lived in Wolves all my life and have visited the Art Gallery so many times over the years, with my junior school, with my mate when we did A-level Art, and from time to time nowadays just because I was in the area. I've been very impressed in recent years by the Gallery's reinvention, becoming so much more interactive and cool to walk around.
