Last weekend, I visited Manchester and Liverpool and and hung around some of the galleries and museums. Here are the two places that I recommend some art lovers to go.
Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester:
I just came across this cafe after I visited a bookshop near Market Street. The cafe is located in the basement. Walking down the staircase, you could see an installation in the window. There was also an exhibition space in front of the cafe. They have a cosy environment surrounded by some paintings and installations. There is also a garden in the corner where you can treat it as your secret garden. It's good to just pick up a book from the shelf and relax yourself in this lovely space.
The Bluecoat in Liverpool:
The Bluecoat is a creative hub located in a historical building. I enjoyed their currant exhibition very much.It called Galapagos. It's about "Twelve international artists visited Galapagos. Their surprising perspectives on the environmental and cultural reality of these distant islands question our relationship with a changing natural world". The artists were inspired by the natural environment in Galapagos, so they created artworks in response to the recent environmental challenges caused by the growth of tourism. You can gain quite a lot from this exhibition. Before then, I didn't even know there is a place called Galapagos. The exhibition will also be toured to Edinburgh and Lisbon later.
