Museum of Everything

The Museum of Everything is giving the public a rare glimpse into the world of a British Pop Art Pioneer.

'I began my collecting when I started in the Junior Art Department at Gravesend School of Art when I was 14. There was a junkyard next to the station and on my first visit I bought a set of leather-bound Shakespeare, a papier maché tray and a painting of the Queen Mary that happened to be a kind of outsider art, and it all started from there.'
-Sir Peter Blake

We took a tour for ourselves. Checked it all out. Risking life and limb and PENALTY OF DEATH sneaking a few photos for you.





Hopefully it's worth it and you check the show out for yourself!







Personal favorites:
  • a tiny fairground which comes to life every 15 minutes past the hour
  • taxidermy tableaux of a squirrel on squirrel boxing match
  • antique carousal horses and motorbikes



    Did you know he designed the sleeve for the Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

    The show's been held over for an extra 5 weeks! The show comes highly recommended by the Conquer team so head on over to The Museum of Everything and check it out for yourselves.
