Exhibits include contemporary works by Jeff Koons, Banksy, Andrew Logan, Tracey Emin, Halima Cassell MBE and many more. Shropshire Museums will  be unveiling an 18th century Turner painting of Shrewsbury, from the Shropshire Museums collection, which has been generously re-framed by Jonathan Soden. Visitors can enjoy a mix of mediums and techniques in the exhibition, from oil on canvas to casting, lithography, ceramics, plastic moulding and textiles.
