People enjoying canal boat holidays in wales may wish to make a diversion to cardiff's national museum in the months to come to take in an exhibition of international contemporary art. The artes mundi display showcases the works of eight shortlisted artists from countries as diverse as albania, russia, taiwan and israel and explores themes of national identity, globalisation and migration in a variety of mediums.
Welsh heritage minister alun ffred jones said that, as one of the largest contemporary arts prizes in the world, the event will be a strong draw for visitors such as those taking canal boat holidays in wales. 'the prize recognises bold and interesting artists from around the world and i encourage anyone with an interest in contemporary art to visit the exhibition of this year's finalists,' he said.
Arts aficionados visiting the country at the moment have also been offered the chance to see a performance of grace williams' rare classical piece missa cambrensis, following the launch of newly-edited scores this month.
The beautiful canals of England and Wales wind their way through a variety of interesting and distinctive locations offering you the chance to stop off and investigate further at a mooring of your choice or to simply continue cruising onto the next destination.
