Art

Part of the White Night event in Brighton - this was a wonderful way of bringing paintings to life: the girl stood motionless for several minutes, then turned, danced and spun around gracefully before settling down to her pose again. She was dressed exactly like the girl in the painting. Many other paintings in the museum were brought to life in the same way.
