Cllr Andrew Lewis, cabinet member for Culture said: “I am delighted that this significant and important milestone in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II is being celebrated by the children of Gloucester and that both they and the museum have had the privilege of working together to co-curate this special event. This collaboration will allow school children and their families, (alongside many other audiences in the city and beyond) to visit and see their own artwork on display in the most respected exhibition space in the city.”
