Towner *the new contemporary art museum*

I'm in the UK now, where you can find a lot of galleries, museums, exhibition centres - it's the Mecca of modern and contemporary arts!
First I'd like to introduce you this new (opened 4.4.09) museum of conntemporary arts in South England, Eastbourne. There are always temporary exhibitions, at the moment it's Jodie Carey's "In the Eyes of Others", which is a breath-taking installation and is worth to be seen. Don't miss the People's Choice exhibition, which presents the Towner Collection in another concept: people could vote in different categories and the winners of the voting are now exposed in the Main Gallery. The new building of Towner is a work of art as well, it's an architectural eye-candy.
The collection includes works of:
Henry Moore
William Nicholson
Julian Opie
Victor Pasmore
Pablo Picasso
Eric Ravilious
Wolfgang Tillmans, etc.
