More about Norfolk!!!

If anyone likes the work of the sculptor Anish Kapoor, he has an exhbition of his work at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. It was the main reason we went there for a few days.

Houghton Hall is just  18 miles south East of Kings Lynn and was the home of Robert Walpole - prime Minister.  Two rooms are open in the house with Anish Kapoors coloured mirrors in them - beatuifully refecting the architectural features of the room. The rest of his sculptures are outdoors.

This is called  Sky Mirror, which reflects the sky, but in such a clever way that sometimes it looks like a hologram and other times like a solid sphere.

What we didn't know about Houghton Hall is that it is also a sculpture Park displaying examples of sculpture all the year round - Rachel Whiteread, Henry Moore, James Turrell, and others. So there is plenty to see. We were there at 11 for it's opening and didn't leave till after 4.

If anyone reading this wants to go then booking in advance - at least two weeks is essential.
