Hull is blessed with a number of excellent museums and art galleries, including Ferens Art Gallery which is home to works by artists including David Hockney and Frans Hals. It is currently showing a “Monet in Mind” exhibition, that runs to July 4, and centres around the French impressionist’s 1888 landscape, “Antibes".

Antibes is the lead artwork, and is joined by work from “Future Ferens,” a group of volunteers aged between 16 and 25, as well as pieces from Ferens’ permanent collection, with highlights from Walter Richard Sickert, Philip Wilson Steer, Derwent Lees, and Barbara Hepworth.
