Eye-catching exhibits will also reveal how different cultures have used colour to communicate messages. In fact if you’ve ever wondered why you sometimes feel blue or in the pink then you’ll find the answer in 'eye for Colour'!
You can even play colour detective and learn how scientists understand the history of a painting by examining the way in which colour pigments change through time.
This exhibition will help you to understand more about colour association and why we relate certain colours to particular moods and atmospheres, such as red for hot or blue for cold. From the food that we eat to the political party we vote for, it’s a complex and colourful world!
My favourite colour is crimson, it is the colour of my wedding dress.
