The first step-free art trail: Morph's Art Adventure in London

As we move into "what do we do with the kids in the summer holidays?" month, I'd like to highlight the rather unusual exhibition in London this month called Morph's Adventures in London.

There are 56 sculptures of Morph located on an Art Trail at various locations across the capital. Each is 6 foot tall!

The nice thing is that the entire trail is step-free - which means it's all accessible to wheelchairs and those of us who have a few difficulties with steps.

I encounter quite a few on my way from St Paul's Tube to the South Bank and the Bankside Gallery - where the four above can be found

This one is just outside the precinct of St Paul's Cathedral

These two are on Peter's Hill - the route to the Millenium Bridge - titles of each sculpture are in the caption.

There is a purpose behind the Art Trail. It is brought to you by the charity WhizzKidz and aims to 

  • stimulate conversations about diversity and inclusion for wheelchair users in the City of London
  • raise money to empower 100 young people with a wheelchair.

This is the link to the Map of the Art Trail (which can be downloaded)

You can also get an app which tells you where they all are and identifies them and tracks your trail steps as you follow the trail

At the end, there's going to be a LIVE AUCTION of the Morphs to raise more funds for the aim of this initiative.
