| Taking place

Arts, Visual arts and crafts |
| Description: |
Louis Wain studied at the West London School of Art, and began his career as an art journalist. However, it was for his pictures of cats that he eventually became famous. From the 1880s until the outbreak of the First World War, the Louis Wain cat was hugely popular. Appearing in prints, books, magazines, postcards and annuals, Wains cats are to be found engaging in every form of human activity - from playing cricket, digging up roads, and riding bicycles, to parading the latest fashions at Ascot and making pompous after-dinner speeches at the club. Opening times: Mon-Wed 13.00-17.30, Frid 13.00-20.00, Sat 10.00-13.00. |
