Gallery Explore Bag

Tickets Free | No Booking Required
First Floor Gallery

Discover the gallery in a whole new way with Bridget's Sticks and Stones Gallery Explore Bag - a hands-on, curiosity-driven activity designed for families.

Inspired by Bridget Flannery's Unquiet Layers exhibition, these bags are filled with intriguing objects and creative prompts to spark conversation and exploration.

The late Bridget Flannery was endlessly curious about the natural world around her. Our exhibition of her work Unquiet Layers is about her adventures exploring that world.

Created by Dr. Lucy Elvis in collaboration with philosophers from CURO and AIRE, our Gallery Explore Bags invite you to engage with Bridget’s abstract landscapes through playful activities and thoughtful questions.

Please allow around 30 minutes to enjoy your Gallery Explore Bag experience, and kindly return all items when you're finished.

There are 4 Bags located in the First Floor Gallery, each with different activities; Leaves, Turf, Sticks, Stones.
