When art tops the bill: Epstein's sculptures at Showtown

Join Grundy Art Gallery's Tom Ireland as he explores the media frenzy around Blackpool's showing of world-famous artworks.

Several works of art by American-British sculptor, Jacob Epstein, were exhibited in Blackpool in the 1930s and the 1960s.  Hear more about why biblical sculpture of 'Adam' was reported as shocking and caused outrage among the visitors.
