We’ve been to The Barber Institute and Lapworth Museum of Geology on Play Day: had fun with various weaving art activities, including imaginative play with a woven “castle”, and playing with fossils and extinct animal bones. All free entry, so even better!

A lovely creative, family #OLOLSummerLearning day A and S. The The Barber Institute is a fantastic gallery and well worth a visit if any other OLOL families are looking for a superbly curated and interesting collection to look at and maybe try to recreate! Thank you for sharing some

What gives me joy are exhibitions, who tell stories we have yet to hear, or those that remain hidden. Examples include the women in power told through coins, to the botanical prints from the V&A, to the Claudette Johnson at the ⁦The Barber Institute⁩ 🙌🏻

It’s so lovely to have The Barber Institute open again. “Claudette Johnson: Darker Than Blue”, on until 15 September 2024.

"I am trying to introduce another gaze; a Black feminist gaze, if you like" - Claudette Johnson. You have 4 weeks left to see her striking show for free The Barber Institute Uni of Birmingham barber.org.uk/claudette-john…

I saw this The Barber Institute on Sat. A one room show that packs a huge punch - you can have a silent conversation with each of her figures, they're so direct, raw, and believable. It was just me and them and it was very difficult to leave. Definitely go if you can.
