Stuff and Nonsense

Follow Alice down the rabbit hole and emerge into Falmouth Art Gallery's extraordinary summer exhibition!  A celebration of the stuff we all like – from the bizarre to the everyday.  

All ages will be delighted by the nonsense rhymes and illustrations of Quentin Blake, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear and Spike Milligan; fantastical stories including Rossetti’s wombat and the Cottingley Fairies; hilarious new automata; and shrines and assemblages from local artists and community groups.  

Fans of Quentin Blake will recognise some of his original artwork featuring his two much-loved characters Mister Magnolia and Mrs Armitage (who has remembered to bring her surfboard, in search of the Big Wave).
