View of Knife Angel sculpture standing in front of Museum. A large 27feet tall sculpture of angel made from 100,000 knives collected from knife amnesty bins. By artist Alfie Bradley and British Ironworks Centre. For me the expressive hands and face are asking ‘Why?’ - a powerful statement against knife crime.
Internal view of the large central space in the refurbished Perth Museum. At the centre of the space sits a large timber box which houses the galleries housing the Stone of Destiny experience.
View of some of the Museum collection. There is a timber model of a church on a timber plinth and timber fretwork and a stone in a glass display case. These sit in front of a richly decorated wall with an old arched timber door and large painted portrait.
Photo of ‘Label, Infanta Maria Theresa’ by artist Derrick Guild. A portrait of a young woman in the style of an Old Masters painting spread across multiple paper tags. The young woman has decorations in her auburn hair and her white gown is decorated with strings of pearls.
Had a billiant day with friends enjoying #ArtExplorer activity in #Perth. Included a second viewing of the powerful ‘Knife Angel’, a visit to the transformed Perth Museum to see the Stone of Destiny, and finally a whirl around the fabulous Scottish collection in the Art Gallery! #Culture #Heritage
