MODERN art is going on show in historic surroundings in a new exhibition at Nunnington Hall in North Yorkshire.
The Past Present event has been organised by the National Trust and the Arts Council Collection and will see contemporary works of art displayed around the hall.
The idea is to use the whole building as a gallery space, putting works of art in historic surroundings.
Annabelle Coaten, visitor services manager at the property, said: “We think people’s preconceptions will be challenged as it is not always obvious what is a modern addition and what is an older part of our existing collection.
“We hope visitors will enjoy the show for its artistic merit and pleasure and see that, in context, modern art doesn’t always have to shock of confuse.”
Works include a chess set made by Yoko Ono and pieces by Tracey Emin, Lucy Skaer, Victoria Hall and Mark Wallinger.
