Mima

Last night was the official opening of the new Mima gallery in Middlesbrough, the one where the VIP's turn up. There is to be a firework display tonight and then the gallery is open to the public for a few hours. Normal open starts on Tuesday, so it looks like I'm not going to get there until next weekend. I'm really looking forward to that.

Oh and the shot, it's a similar one to an earlier shot, however this one is in landscape format whereas the previous one was in portrait. This is the windows of the Mima gallery, also showing a reflection of the bottle of notes.

This piece of art, found near the new MIMA art gallery, is called the bottle of notes, and was commissioned by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in 1988. It was finally installed September 14, 1993.

The dimensions for the bottle of notes is 30 x 16 x 10 ft, or for any of you modern guys 9.1 x 4.9 x 3.1 m
