Our Latest Exhibition is Telling Tales; Story Scrools from India. Situated in The Godfrey Pilkington Gallery this exhibition is an exciting insight into the ancient tradition of story telling on 'patas' (paintings on scrolls). bright and vibrant the the panels were glued onto cloth for greater strength and flexibility.
