Our coach will then take us to our second visit - the Potteries museum in the city centre which has the world’s largest collection of Staffordshire ceramics and recent acquisitions from the Minton museum. It also houses a collection of costumes, textiles and twentieth century costume dolls as well as a gallery of water colour paintings and drawings.
We could also visit Bethesda chapel across the road and the related exhibition “Building Jerusalem” at the museum.
The museum is only five minutes walk from the city centre.

June 12th 2010 - Picasso: Peace and Freedom at Tate Liverpool
We are planning a trip to The Tate in Liverpool, to see the Picasso exhibition—Picasso: Peace and Freedom. This exhibition is bringing together 150 works by Picasso from around the world. It reveals a less well known Picasso, as a tireless political activist and peace campaigner. The exhibition is the first to explore his post war period and will include letters to him from various prominent figures of the cold war period: Castro, Mandela etc.
Lille
We are still hoping for more interest in the proposed trip to Lille in September, we do need at least 30 interested people to keep costs low. Please contact the gallery as soon as possible for further information.
