Out There: Our Post-War Public Art

'Out There' shed light on the sculptures and structures created by pioneering artists between 1945 and 1985, long before the iconic Angel of the North was conceived.

Many of these pieces have been lost, damaged, moved or destroyed. Others have been saved, celebrated and are widely loved. All of them were created and sited with care and conviction for the post-war public.

From the sculptures at Newcastle University and Civic Centre to the Apollo Pavilion at Peterlee, 'Out There' celebrated England's fascinating yet forgotten national collection.
