Explore the exhibitions during these times reserved just for you

This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. She pioneered a new form of installation with towering works made of woven fibres. These sculptures became known as Abakans. The exhibition will showcase many of the most significant Abakans in a forest-like display. A selection of early textile pieces and her little-known drawings are also on show.

Make a night of it and stop by the Terrace Bar which will be open just for Private View Members.
