Walls are Talking

Another great exhibition only a bus ride away. For all of you who love pattern.... but with a twist, here are wallpapers that shock, tell stories or simply aren't what they firsts seem. It's on a at the Whitworth Gallery and there was an excellent review of it in The Guardian this weekend.
