Trip to Compton Verney

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

As part of our Grundtvig Project I went on a trip to Compton Verney, an art gallery in Warwickshire, from 27th-29th of April.

The art gallery, Compton Verney

The gallery is set in picturesque grounds and has a specially built learning centre - which I was very envious of! The gallery is a charity, funded by the Peter Moores Foundation, and only opened in 2004. As well as meeting with other partners from Italy and Hungary who are part of the project, we also had the chance for a tour of the galleries. At present their temporary exhibitions are by James Coleman and Alberto Giacometti. Both were presented really well and, although the James Coleman piece included a very strong Irish accent, all nationalities seemed to appreciate both!

Now onto the actual work of the Grundtvig project, the creation of the Our East Lothian website. Have a look and add your comments about one of our photographs - at the moment the focus is on World War Two.
