Heaven and Earth : Richard Long
at the Tate Britain Gallery now until 6 September

If you happen to be in London sometime during your Summer holidays, there is a very interesting exhibition at the Tate Britain.

Continuing with our link between Art and nature, this is a retrospective exhibition of a contemporary British artist. Over the past forty years Richard Long has worked both with and in the natural environment.

Besides numerous walks both in this country and abroad, the artist includes natural objects within his work. For those of you who don’t have any paints and paintbrushes, and you don’t mind getting too dirty, then be inspired by Richard Long’s mud paintings!! They go from floor to ceiling on the gallery walls, and are completed by hand!!

Admission : under 12's get in free, 12-18 years and full time students £7.80, and a family ticket £24.50 covers two adults and two children.

The Tate Britain Gallery is situated on Millbank SW1P 4RG, and the nearest tube station is Pimlico. Bus routes that pass close by the gallery are 2, 3, C10, 36, 87, 88, 159, 185, 436 and 507.
