I thought that my article about what the Ruffers are doing in Bishop Auckland was not appearing till next weekend, but it seems already to be online (see below). As readers of my blog will already know, I greatly admired not just the new Gallery of Spanish Art in the town square, but the whole way that culture is being used very creatively as an instrument of civic regeneration. Perhaps most impressive of all is the building of the forthcoming Faith Museum designed by Niall McLaughlin. It is one of the best and most impressive places I have seen in 2021.
