In All Directions: Selected by Quentin Blake

• A National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery
• Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum, 10 September –15 October 2005

The pleasures and pains of travel are explored in a new exhibition, In All Directions, featuring works selected by Quentin Blake, one of Britain’s best-loved illustrators. Forming part of the Hayward Gallery's National Touring Exhibitions programme, In All Directions opened in Hull in July 2005 and comes to Worcester in September as part of a UK tour.

Showcasing both historical and contemporary work, In All Directions takes the viewer on a delightful journey of discovery, via donkey and bicycle, car and train, riverboat and even elephant.
