Si King is best known as one half of The Hairy Bikers – one of Britain’s most popular television presenting duos and cookery writers.
Join Si for this special tour based on his combined passions of music, rhythm, travel and – of course – food. By exploring the hidden stories around individual works, and utilising Si’s vast knowledge of the history of British and international food cultures, this tour creates a space to consider our personal and family histories in relation to the story of British art. How does the collection connect the origins of popular British foods with increased travel and trade? How can objects inspire us to think about movement? How do our family stories relate to scenes depicted in great works of art?
