ART FOR THE SOUL WITH A TRIP ROUND THE HEPWORTH : Award winning art gallery and home to Barbara Hepworths work.
Here in Yorkshire we are lucky enough to have the wonderful Hepworth Gallery on our doorstep. I've found myself there twice this month so thought I'd share a few glimpses of whats inside.
Check out @pcste's post 'My photography-The Hepworth Gallery' for a view of the building from the outside.

There's also a Stanley Spencer exhibition 'Of Angels and Dirt/ A major exhibition celebrating his life and work' on at the moment until October 5th. We were unable to take photos in that section but there's info on The Hepworth link I've provided.
Views from the windows.
If you get chance to visit The Hepworth I recommend popping in to the gift store while you're there. You never know what you might find! My 70 year old Aunt was overjoyed when we spotted this book and started a queue of frenzied book buying.
