The Imagination Station

The Imagination Station

Visit the Imagination Station in the Underground Gallery to enjoy drawing, making and chatting together, using playful Activity Baskets inspired by the themes and artworks in Bharti Kher: Alchemies.

Create your own sculptures, dress up in costumes to become magical creatures, and learn more about how Bharti created the exhibition. Or take time out to rest and relax on the comfy chairs, and read one of our specially selected books focusing on the themes of the exhibition.

The Imagination Station is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10.00–15.30. Find it at the far end of the Underground Gallery, or ask one of our friendly staff for more details.
