This is a very comprehensive exhibition about flocking at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum in Bournemouth covering interiors, fashion, stationery, flooring, toys and fine art. Walking around the museum and then walking into the flocking exhibition is a shock. The house is wood panelled and hung with early twentieth century paintings and artefacts the contrast between this and the stark harshness of the flocking exhibition is unsettling. The gallery unintentionally demonstrates how our lives have changed in a century and how different our idea of decoration and beauty is today.
The flocking exhibition is beautifully presented and is very well researched and displayed with anything and everything that has been flocked.
