My friends in Cheshire invited me up to see this sculpture exhibition called Ark at the Chester cathedral. It was surprisingly high quality, which I say not to be snooty but because it was free (although one made a donation)
The exhibition mixed well known with lesser known artists, The title "ark" gave a wide range of interpretations as to content, including several abstrat pieces, but it did produce a bias towards animal figures, as can be seen below.

| Possibly the most famous (or notorious?) of the exhibited "sculptors", Damien Hurst |
 |
| Possibly my favourite exhibit |
 |
| This gorilla was actually sculpted as a commission for Jersey Zoo to commemorate a particularly famous gorilla. |
And another gorilla exhibit, somewhat more crudely sculpted but with an interesting idea - a gorilla looking at it self in a pool.
 |
| Even if not keen on the exhibition itself, the cathedral is worth visiting for the architecture alone. |
 |
| The exhibition continued outside |
 |
| One of the more dubious sculptures under the theme of Ark |
