Double delights at museum exhibitions

Are these models really made from scrap? George Brown with one of his models.

The Yorkshire Monochrome Group (YMG) return to Goole Museum this month with a display of photos on the theme of motion.

As their name suggests, the YMG is a group of photographers based in Yorkshire, including several from the East Riding, who work solely with monochromatic photographic images.

This does not mean purely black and white - many of the group experiment with sepia and other forms of toning - with results that range from photojournalism to abstract.

Motion is interpreted using a range of different subjects and techniques - from blurry children dashing off to play hide and seek, to a pair of surreal marching wellington boots.

The exhibition will run until June 9.

Sharing the gallery with the photographers is a cased exhibition by George Brown of his amazing historic vehicles, built by him from scrap materials - although visitors might have difficulty identifying the scrap from the exquisitely-produced finished articles.

To prove they really are scrap, George will be including a partly-built carriage in his exhibition.

George has previously had short exhibitions at various leisure and social venues in Goole, and is devising this display especially to fit in the museum's showcases.

His exhibition will also run from until June 9.

Goole Museum, which is above the library in Carlisle Street, is open Monday 2pm to 5pm, Tuesday to Friday 10am to 5pm, and Saturday 9am to 1pm.

Admission is free and there is a lift and easy access and facilities for wheelchair-users.
