Reviewed By Steveodo - Carrickfergus, United Kingdom

I had a very enjoyable visit here. The gallery now hosts different shows in different rooms. Cynthia, the curator, is there in person, and was happy to tell me more about what was currently on show. One room had the last-ever public exhibition of a set of black and white photographs taken at Auschwitz. They were present-day images, with a few tourists in some of the images. This may be the most haunting place on Earth to see, and the views selected were arresting. In the front room of the Edwardian building I was very interested to see that Cynthia had painted the actual walls - a great idea - with plant designs. Her own giant canvases of stylised bats and giraffes are wonderfully colourful. Out the back is the Conservatory Gallery, which had a new show by a local artist. Each month the exhibits change, so its worth returning regularly. Free entry.

My wife and I stumbled upon this shop on the far right side as you head toward the harbor. The items in the store, jewelry and art were done locally and were wonderful. We bought a nice little fairy house
