Out trip to the York Art Gallery was a fantastic time. There was a special event called Bloom. Bloom had a couple of themes: floral themed art works and themes that deal with identity with regard to flowers. We also enjoyed the commentary with regard to featured LGBTQ artists and how many of these artists had been sidelined by the establishment. Continuing on the the every day exhibits we were amazed at the extent of the ceramic pieces. This Art Museum has over 6000 ceramic pieces and it was wide ranging. There were many pieces from British artists and the rest were from all over the world. We especially liked the activities provided for the little kids, keep the little ones busy.
