This is your final chance to see Generation, so don't miss it!

Mysterious puppet-like shapes grow from the floor and a giant 'Griffin Bird' hangs from the ceiling, see beautifully coloured hats and delicate hangings. These weird and wonderful creations are the response of 4 young artists to a 7ft tall 17th-century bed hanging decorated with a twisted tree, ornamental leaves and imaginary birds and animals. The hanging comes from the Embroiderers' Guild 11,000-piece museum collection, to which Karen Woods, Clare Proctor, Christine Keys, and Joanna Waller have been commissioned to respond. Shown together the contemporary work and museum piece make up Generation.
