Oh, let me dive into something that’s been an absolute game-changer for our family outings – the Art Fund Pass. Picture this: a magical little card that whisks you and the kiddos into a world of art, culture, and those precious ‘wow’ moments, without the hefty price tags hanging over your head.
Art Fund Pass
So, here’s the scoop on the Art Fund Pass. It’s like that best friend who always knows the coolest places to visit but, you know, for museums and galleries. With this pass, we’ve had doors opened to us across the UK to explore art spaces both vast and intimate. Imagine being able to stroll into exhibitions without that pang of, “Is this really within our weekend adventure budget?” It’s been a revelation.
Myself and a couple of pals marched into this Bath Fashion Museum. We explored ancient treasures, contemporary artworks that made us tilt our heads in unison, and interactive exhibits that had captivated.
What I adore about the Art Fund Pass is the promise of spontaneous learning adventures. It’s not just about seeing beautiful things; it’s about unlocking stories, igniting curiosity, and creating those vibrant memories together. It transforms a simple weekend into an exploration, where each exhibit visit crafts tales to chatter about over dinner or on the way home.
And let’s not slightly gloss over the fact that it supports the arts, which is a bit like giving a high five to creativity and history every time we use it. So, in a nutshell, if you’re pondering over an Art Fund Pass, I’d say dive in. It’s been a sprinkle of magic on our family time, offering us a passport to explore, learn, and bond — all while supporting the arts. What’s not to love?
My favourite era would have to be the sixties although the 1940’s aertex Micky Mouse dress (second picture down) was incredibly beautiful, I would wear that today in a flash! We reminisced about fashion from our childhood and cringed at the things we wore as teenagers. I distinctly remember thinking in the 90’s that I don’t know how they would define the decade as all the clothes were just ‘normal’. Now I think, pedal pushers? those tops with slits in the front? DOUBLE DENIM?! What were we thinking, it was awful!
We all had fun dressing up in the victorian outfits and I have since decided I have a thing for top hats. Wilf had been asleep until this point so when he woke up so was slightly bemused at the sight of us. We agreed that the victorian boys striped outfits were adorable and the woman in the 1900’s must have had hips of steel to carry around those underskirts all day.
I’m really looking forward to using my pass this summer as I will be in London next month and there are quite a few exhibitions I want to see and can now justify. It also gives me the excuse to visit some of the exhibitions in my own city that I might never had got round to previously.
Have you been to any good exhibitions this year? Did anyone make the Bowie one in the V&A? It looked brilliant.
