The Flowers exhibition was really great, definitely worth going to. An excellent mixture of paintings and other mediums. Some moving and interactive displays. Not too arty so a wide appeal and well curated.

I've been there for the Tiffany exhibition - what an unforgettable experience! The rooms walked me through the years of the company's creations and I've seen the most beautiful (and expensive!!) jewellery so far. The building fully used its capabilities for that exhibition, I was in awe 💕💕

Visited the British Art Fair this September and was really impressed by the quality of work they exhibited. Not only do we get to see some traditional classical works. But there is a great number of digital art at the section called Digitalism. Totally creative, expressive and inspiring in many ways. The creators are so eager to interact with visitors sharing stories behind, which is so valuable and different from other fairs like Affordable Art Fair, Frieze, London Art Fair. The whole visit is so enjoyable and memorable 😊 Highly recommend. The venue however is not so easy to go around and ventilation must get better if they care about visitors’ user experience. Toilets facilities is limited.

Visited the RPS International Photography Competition (free) and the Flowers exhibition (paid, pre booked slot). The photography on show was excellent, but leaned very heavily towards conceptual and people (just in case that's not your thing). It was very though provoking and well curated. Spread across two large and airy rooms. I would have liked to have seen more details on when/where/with what photos were shot though. Flowers exhibition was excellent. Spread over two floors, it looked at Flowers in contemporary art and craft. Photography, sculpture, textiles, paintings, installations, album and book covers and more. Beautiful and interesting. Lifts and wheelchairs available for disability access. Cooling AC units (but still warm). Minus one star for no cafe or drinks bar (hot and it's summer!). They sold their cafe to someone else (outside the building) and it's now waiter service, ridiculously expensive, and not family or disability friendly (and service was terrible...an apple juice, small and mostly ice was £6!!!)
