Exploring Expertise: Objects and their stories

The objects around us are intertwined with our feelings and experiences. Exploring our relationship with objects can help us tell our stories and give us a greater understanding of other people and ourselves.

Featuring works by artists such as Grayson Perry, Joshua Reynolds, Tracey Emin, Chantal Joffe, Paula Rego, Lucian Freud and Alice Neel, the exhibition explores our changing understanding of ‘family’ in the last 50 years and considers what it means today.
