Exhibition Dates: 30 May - 1 September 2019
2FOR1 offer not valid 31 August - 1 September
2FOR1 Admission: Weekday £15, Weekend £17
Lee Krasner is a key figure in American art, whose energetic works reflect the spirit of possibility in post-war New York.
This exhibition celebrates the work and life of Lee Krasner (1908–1984), a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism. The first major presentation of her work in Europe for more than 50 years, Lee Krasner: Living Colour tells the story of a formidable artist, whose importance has too often been eclipsed by her marriage to Jackson Pollock. Discover Krasner’s spirit for invention – from striking early self-portraits to her acclaimed ‘Little Image’ paintings from the 1940s, from collages comprised of torn-up earlier work to a selection of her most impressive large-scale abstract paintings.
Explore nearly 100 works, many of which are being presented for the first time in the UK.

**2FOR1 offer is not available Monday - Tuesday**
The House’s main visitor offer, the Historical Experience show provides, a unique experience, using the historic rooms that Franklin inhabited as a stage: blending live performance, sound, lighting and visual projection to tell the rich story of Franklin’s London years in his own words. The main character, Polly Hewson, daughter of Franklin’s landlady who became a ‘second daughter’ to Franklin, accompanies visitors through the House, as they experience a sense of the complexity of the man and the times in which he lived: food, health, botany, and daily living; social and personal relationships; scientific work and musical inventions; political tensions, triumphs and woes and a hurried return to America in the face of the looming War of Independence.

AdmissionBlack Country Living Museum
**2FOR1 offer not available on Bank Holidays**
Visit the award-winning Black Country Living Museum and join in with 300 years of history like no other. One of the most extraordinary open-air museums in the UK, the museum immerses visitors into the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the past. Explore original period shops and houses and meet the Museum’s costumed characters along the way - they’ll explain what it was like to live and work in one of the world’s most heavily industrialised landscapes.
You’ll uncover the industrial past of the Black Country as you descend on foot ‘into the thick’ of underground drift mine and face the harsh reality of a coal miner’s life in the mid-nineteenth century. You’ll also see sparks fly as our chain maker forges a link of one of the main exports in the region during the industrial revolution. See the impact the Black Country had on the world as you step inside a full scale working replica of the world’s very first working steam engine – the Newcomen, made in 1712.
Ride a bus or take a tram down to the Museum’s Canalside village. Explore the past as you step inside the shops and houses that were once in the Black Country. Discover weird and wonderful treatments of the past in Emile Doo’s Chemist; indulge yourself in our Victorian sweet shop; test your times tables in our school or watch a film in our 1930s Lime Light Cinema.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, grab a bag of our traditionally cooked fish and chips or quench your thirst in the Bottle & Glass Inn where a warm welcome awaits.

AdmissionBritish Library - Writing: Making Your Mark
Exhibition Dates: 26 April - 27 August 2019
Discover the extraordinary story behind one of humankind’s greatest achievements: through more than 100 objects spanning 5,000 years and seven continents.
Follow the remarkable evolution of writing from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs carved in stone and early printed text such as Caxton’s edition of The Canterbury Tales, to the art of note-taking by some of history’s greatest minds and onwards to the digital communication tools we use today. Marvel at centuries of human innovation as writing enabled progress and opened doors to expression and art. Items as diverse as James Joyce’s annotated copy of Ulysses and a 60,000 strong petition against Bengali partition sit alongside Burmese tattooing instruments and a new take on typography by the Russian artist El Lissitzky to illustrate how writing allows us to enact change and make a lasting creative mark of our own.
Our interactive exhibition gives you the chance to reflect on works of genius that wouldn’t exist without the writing traditions of civilisations past. Be dazzled by gold-laden Japanese calligraphy. Study Mozart’s musical flourishes. Pore over Alexander Fleming’s pioneering notebook. Each of these written records carries the history of writing in their every stroke.
Finally, reflect on writing’s future and the role you’ll play in an increasingly digital world. Will we abandon pens and keyboards for voice and video messaging, or continue to carry the traditions of ancient times with us?

AdmissionBritish Museum - Edvard Munch: love and angst
Exhibition Dates: 11 April - 21 July 2019
The creator of art's most haunting and iconic face. A radical father of Expressionism. Norway’s answer to Vincent Van Gogh. But who was Edvard Munch? Discover this pioneering, subversive artist as the British Museum lifts the veil on his life and works in the largest show of his prints in the UK for nearly 50 years. The emotional intensity of The Scream has reverberated through history. A universal symbol of human anxiety, it is also a deeply personal response to Munch’s upbringing and experience as an artist. Haunted by death and suffering from a young age, Munch was also inspired by liberal ideas emerging in the bohemian circles he encountered throughout Europe, as well as his passionate love affairs. His use of innovative techniques, bold colour and dark subject matter resonated with shifting attitudes – and mark him out as one of the first truly ‘modern’ artists.
