โค๏ธโค๏ธLygia Clark Whitechapel Gallery Great introduction to a fascinating artist who created playful interactive works to explore the boundaries and relationships between art and audience. Still felt wrong to play with the animals despite the invitation.

Very proud of what weโ€™ve achieved in 2024. Iโ€™m in awe of all the incredible museum staff who do often unseen work to make museums better for children, young people and families. Thanks to my small but mighty team too for their dedication and generosity.
