ARK SCULPTURE - CHESTER CATHEDRAL 2017


From July to October, 2017 Chester Cathedral hosted a sculpture exhibition called ARK. It comprised 90 modern sculptures and, as far as I can see, was a 'one-off' effort. Judging by the crowds it brought into the Cathedral, it was a very good idea. I hope it inspires other venues to host something similar.
