An afternoon inspired by artist Peter Blake took place at the Holburne this weekend to mark the end of his exhibition at the museum.

A 1960s fortune teller, an Elvis impersonator and an Andy Warhol factory were among the attractions at the museum on Sunday and children could also be seen making elephant masks and elephant feet in honour of the pop artist who once lived at Wellow.

His exhibition A Museum for Myself – which reopened the gallery after a three-year extension and refurbishment programme – will come to an end on Sunday.

It reflects the Sergeant Pepper artist's interests and idiosyncrasies and includes some of his own works.

Education assistant Vickie Fear said the exhibition and the fun day had gone down well with visitors.

She said: "It has been great and kids have enjoyed it a lot and there's a lot to see."

Director Xa Sturgis said the exhibition at the gallery dominated by 16th and 17th century art and porcelain had been very different but had been really successful.

He said: "Some people have been a bit surprised.

"It has worked really well with the displays already here, but in an unexpected way.

"The longer you walk around there the more you discover."

Susan Trice, who brought her two sons Peter and Joel to the exhibition from Trowbridge, said she was fascinated by what she had seen.

She said: "The boys loved it and it was so different to anything I have ever seen before.

"There are lots of different ways of looking at it, it was fascinating."

Mr Sturgis said they were now preparing for the next exhibition to open in the space this month, which is a series of Gainsborough landscapes and will be the first of its kind for 50 years.

Mr Sturgis said: "People speak about his portraits but he said what he really wanted to paint was landscapes and there hasn't been a show of his landscapes here for over 50 years."

Themes and Variations, by the artist who lived in Bath for 15 years in the mid-18th century, will open at the Holburne in Great Pulteney Street on September 24 and run until January.
