It has been one of the more surreal couple of days. When you find yourself at eight o'clock in the morning standing in the sleet and rain watching three pantechnicons worth of Emetts arriving at their temporary home you do start to wonder what brought you to this point.
It is not a process that can ever run completely smoothly. Getting storage crates that are 2700mm high through a door opening only 2701mm high is not without its excitements. And finding space for everything can be tricky when it is not only volume but also access to the available space that creates problems. But, after all that, they have been successfully stored close to Birmingham ready to be installed in the Museum and Art Gallery at the end of April and we can now focus on promoting the exhibition.
The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery has produced its first flyer to be distributed in time for the school half-term holidays in mid-February and we are busily grabbing opportunities to spread the word. This is, after all, a once-only opportunity to see as many of his works in one place and it would be a shame to miss it.
