A competition for a Thursday morning
We had so much fun running a caption competition for this image with the Gallery staff, we thought we would let everyone have a go. A Gallery paperweight lies in store for the three winners as judged by me...

Tim's Antipode
Our own resident adventurer, Gallery librarian Tim Jones recently travelled via land and sea from Christchurch to Foz in Spain.

George Harrison
Can't wait to see the new movie George Harrison: Living in the Material World by Scorsese which is released this month. The Beatles are a popular band here at the Gallery - we even have our own tribute wall in the staffroom.
