Highlights
Out of this world
IMAGINE if anthropologists from outer space set out on a mission to understand life on earth.
The Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art presents contemporary art works under the fictional guise of a museum collection conceived by and designed for extraterrestrials.
Playful and irreverent, the museum's collection features some 150 works by over 100 artists, from modern masters to bright new stars.
On the first Thursday of every month, the Barbican Art Gallery is open until 10pm.
To complement the exhibition, there will be a season of films from outer space.
You can join a host of artists, speakers, commentators and curators for Close Encounter talks.
Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art Mission: to interpret and understand contemporary art runs at the Barbican Art Gallery, Silk Street London, EC2Y 8DS runs until May 18. Tickets: £8/6 members. Telephone: 020 7638 8891 (9am-8pm daily).
12:54pm Friday 14th March 2008
