This May, the National Gallery turns 200 years old and we are throwing a party!
To mark the occasion, artist Lucie MacGregor has created a giant cake sculpture made from pulped recycled paper. Lucie's design considers the Gallery's rooms and collection as well as the theme of birthdays.
The paper pulp includes recycled elements from birthday cards and National Gallery brochures peeping through the design.
Lucie needs your help to decorate the cake, so taking inspiration from the Gallery, contribute to the moment by adding a drawing or note of your own!
This event takes place in Room 36 of the Barry Rooms and our Learning Space.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Lone adults are not permitted.
You may be asked to wait a short time if the space has reached capacity.
A buggy park will be available in our Learning Space in Room 8. Families are welcome to eat their packed lunches in Room 6.
