EXHIBITION
Our summer exhibition The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things , is curated by Turner Prize winning artist Mark Leckey . You will see historical and contemporary works of art side by side , with videos , machines , archaeological artefacts and iconic objects - all of which will inhabit an “ enchanted landscape ” where objects seem to be communicating with each other and with us . Don ' t miss the giant inflatable cartoon figure of Felix the Cat and a Doctor Who Cyberman ' s helmet !
