Morning Kids!

It’s completely blows my mind how people can say that Bermuda is boring at this time of year.  Yes, we all miss beach, boat and BBQ time but just have a scroll through this mammoth post to see all the lovely events that are happening soon.  And we don’t even have to deal with blizzards!

Here’s the latest on what’s coming up in Bermuda:

There are three current exhibits at Bermuda National Gallery on the 2nd Floor in City Hall.

The first is Peter Woolcock: A Tribute, which celebrates the artist’s journey and achievements as a well-known illustrator of political cartoons and children’s books.

Highlights from the Young Collection reflects the diversity of our Island’s culture while celebrating an important gift to the BNG.

Finally, Highlights of the BNG Collection is located in two gallery spaces, each with its own theme, with artwork arranged in juxtaposition across time periods and regions.

Opening hours are from 10am until 4pm, Monday to Friday, and from 10am until 2pm on Saturdays, closed on public holidays. The exhibits will run until May 28th.

Admission is $5 for adults and free for BNG members, NARM members, seniors and students.
