As a couple newly in love, it was a real treat for us to see this exhibition. You could sit on the floor with other visitors to admire the artists' animations. There was a wait to get in with our tickets, but we were rewarded with impressive images. I would recommend the exhibition to anyone who likes moving art and isn't afraid of dark rooms. I didn't think this exhibition was suitable for small children. You should allow plenty of time and make sure you don't have any large bags with you, as everything has to be locked away. Our thanks go to the super-friendly staff on site. I can highly recommend the exhibition.

Fun and informative. Guide was easy to understand and explained and answered questions along the way. Samples of chocolate were given out throughout the tour. We were also each given chocolate to design our own bar with additional ingredients.
