Reviews

Visited Joan Eardley exhibition this week -absolutely delightful! Definitely worth a visit to appreciate her talent and life as a young artist. Filled with her art and those who influenced and supported, photography and its history. It’s free! Super cafe ☕️ too. A great way to spend an hour or two at Modern Two.
