World-famous artwork on display in lorry trailer

The exhibition aims to make art more accessible outside the capital

Work by world-famous artists has been placed in a specially-adapted lorry trailer and taken on tour in Nottinghamshire.

A mobile museum is displaying the creations of Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Roy Lichtenstein and others.

Organisers want people to be able to see works from Tate Britain's collection without having to go to London.

The museum stopped in Kirkby-in-Ashfield over the weekend.

It is due to travel to Hucknall on Saturday and Sutton-in-Ashfield on 23 March.

The exhibition is free to enter but places must be reserved in advance.

The mobile museum has also been hosting visits by local schoolchildren and community groups during the tour.

David Hockney is among the artists whose work is featured

Ashfield District Council has worked with Tate and tour organisers Art Explora to bring the mobile museum to the area as part of its 12-week national tour.

Council leader Jason Zadrozny said: "We are thrilled that Ashfield is one of only nine locations in the country to be chosen as part of the tour.

"A lot of our residents won't have had the chance to visit galleries in London and further afield to see genuine artwork, so bringing the art to them is an amazing opportunity.

"We know the value of culture and art, especially for young people, to broaden minds and encourage creativity and imagination."

The mobile exhibition is called Soup, Socks and Spiders! Art of the Everyday and includes various paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, film, digital art, and sculpture.

Other artists featured include Cornelia Parker, Dorothea Tanning, Fernand Léger, Nam June Paik, Phyllida Barlow, Vanessa Bell, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

The mobile museum is in the Ashfield area during March
