British Art Show 5: Museums in Edinburgh, Southampton, Cardiff and Birmingham
In 2000 the show opened in Edinburgh and toured to Southampton, Cardiff and Birmingham:
Inverleith House, Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh (4 April to 4 June)
Southampton City Art Gallery (23 June to 20 Aug)
National Museum of Wales, Cardiff (8 Sep to 5 Nov)
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham (25 Nov to 28 Jan 2001)
Organised by the Hayward Gallery as part of its National Touring Exhibitions programe, The British Art Show is the most ambitious exhibition in that programme, and, on a consistent basis, nationally. Over the twenty-five years of its history, it has been unrivalled in its scope and unprecedented in its outreach, occupying, especially in its reent manifestations, galleries and other spaces around each city on its tour, and reaching hundreds of thousands of people.
