Fifty years after Bernard Meninsky's death, this exhibition celebrates the work of one of Britain's leading twentieth century Jewish migr artists. The tour, which has been organised by the University of Liverpool with the Contemporary Art Society, opened in Liverpool, the city to which Meninsky and his family travelled from the Ukraine in 1891. It is fitting that one of the first venues on the tour should be Kingston, the home of Philip Meninsky, Bernard's equally distinguished artist son. A family and child-friendly show with everything from a baby dinosaur in a Jurassic garden to a discovery pit for junior archaeologists. Feely boxes, jigsaws, dinosaur eggs, fossils and footprints plus a video presentation, make this exhibition a must for the summer holidays.
