Traditionally played on #ShroveTuesday, the Rommelpot, which appears in many 17thC Dutch genre paintings, was an earthenware pot with a bladder stretched over it. The friction drum is played by pushing & twirling a thick straw through membrane to create a hollow 'foolish' sound.
Join us on Sunday to celebrate the Year of the Tiger!
Families can pick up a free sketchbook & pencil, and explore the galleries.
Look for our tiger signs, draw 5 cats from different artworks, then show your sketches to a member of staff in The Lion’s Den to claim your prize!
COMING SOON!

Billy has the face of a gargoyle that only a mother could love! A dog walker said he looked like the devil. His unfortunate look always makes me laugh & I thought why not paint an ugly pet?
