About Pop Europe!
NEW! Free hot drink in the café when you show this app at the museum.
A colourful display of Pop and Op Art, Expressionist and Abstract works, POP EUROPE! looks at artists working on the continent in a comparative aesthetic. Reviewing the idea of a Pop beyond Britain and America, this exhibition considers the context of their work alongside their transatlantic counterparts.
With the POP EUROPE! app, you can:
* Explore the artworks from the exhibition
* Find out about the artists behind the work
* Play the POP QUIZ - warning - it's pretty challenging!
* Unlock pop art facts and trivia if you get enough right answers
* See the details of the POP EUROPE? Symposium

Wolverhampton Art Gallery is home to one of the UK’s largest and most significant Pop collections. The dedicated Pop Art gallery showcases these impressive artworks, as well as shining a light on less well known artists, with acclaimed retrospective exhibitions of Jann Haworth in 2011 and Pauline Boty in 2013. In 2012 the Art Gallery was a beneficiary of the Eric & Jean Cass Gift through the Contemporary Art Society and was donated 12 works by the couple - many of which are display in POP EUROPE!
The Art Gallery is renowned for its family friendly approach and can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Permanent displays focus on key periods in history alongside regularly changing exhibitions that embrace painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, multi-media, and more. From grand paintings by 18th century greats, to thought-provoking contemporary pieces, there’s always something new to discover.
