I finally got the chance to visit the Hepworth Gallery at the weekend of it's opening. I've been excited about this for ages, mostly because it's happening in my home city and nothing much happens in Wakefield.
If you don't know The Hepworth Wakefield is Yorkshire's new art gallery showing work of major contemporary artists and one of the UK's largest purpose-built galleries outside London it also provides a permanent spot for works by sculptor Barbara Hepworth.
Everything about it is fantastic, the architecture, the work, the space, the people, the typography and last but not least the free charcoal.
If you get chance, go for a visit.
