Temporary public artwork on Hadrian's Wall has run extended for another two weeks

A temporary public artwork installed on Hadrian's Wall as part of the 1900 festival has had its run extended for an extra two weeks.

APERTURA, which is currently standing at Walltown Country Park in Northumberland National Park was due to be taken down on Sunday October 2. However, its run has been extended until Sunday, October 16, meaning there's still time to go and visit if you haven't managed to yet.

The 'sonic sculpture' is made up of 1,900 suspended copper windchimes which make music that constantly changes depending on the weather. Once the sculpture is dismantled, the chimes will be given out to local schools and community groups as a memento of the Hadrian's Wall 1900 Festival legacy, with 2022 marking 1,900 years since the construction of the wall.
