? THINK AGAIN…
Turn art history on its head by testing your brainpower and perception on some the world’s most iconic paintings. Journey from ancient Egypt to 1980s New York solving riddles, discovering hidden secrets and challenging your general knowledge.
Esteemed art historian Susie Hodge and leading brain trainer Dr Gareth Moore introduce you to
