It doesn't have much longer to run (it finishes on 22nd March), but if you are in Canberra before then I'd recommend taking a look
It's a really big exhibition with paintings sourced from across the world, tracing the Artist's early paintings through to sculpture and his later photographic work.
The exhibition was packed on Canberra Day, and there were multitudes of people filling the gallery. It didn't really take away from the exhibition though and we spent quite a long time looking round.
One of the best things about the exhibition was the childrens' room - a small annex off the main gallery. It was well staffed and the kids that ended up in there had lots of Degas-related activities laid on for them. These ranged from Degas books, through to toy horses and clothes allowing children to dress up as ballerinas or jockeys (Degas was pretty keen on painting both horse racing and dancers)
We put Audrey in a (too big) tutu and she really loved parading in front of the mirror and looking at herself - unfortunately she kept treading on her skirt and falling over, so I don't think we'll see her at the Royal Ballet for a little while.
