Wolverhampton Art Gallery is the best museum ever.

There is a show by a Korean artist who has several galleries to himself. His name is Choi Jeong Hwa and the exhibition ends on 1st September. He at an unusual side of art for example in one room against a wall is a pile of tiny circle and broken pieces of circle magnets and you can go and touch them and "play" with them. There are also his welcome strips. In these he puts together a selection of things like shoes into a long collection of this one object and on one side is a piece of paper saying welcome and on the other it is in Japanese. There is also a collection of mad things including vases sculpted from soap and a bead headress.

Other exhibitions that I loved were permanent. One was Georgian and Victorian with a box of dressing up clothes to show you what Georgian theatre was like and you can dress in the clothes. There is a piece of foam that you tie around and then put on a dress with lots of embroidery and where the foam is there is the bump that a bustle would have given you. Then on top you add a wig and a hat made by the lady on reception downstairs.
