An “Art Bus”, designed by Sir Peter Blake, was launched in London today.
Rescued from being scrapped, the old Liverpool double-decker has been completely transformed into a mobile art gallery.
The roof has been specially raised to accommodate standing room on the upper deck, which is also the exhibition space; whilst the bottom deck will serve as a seating and entertainment area.
The bus has been "wrapped" in an instantly recognisable design by Sir Peter, which is so bold in its use of colour and imagery that it can probably be seen from space.
The launch included touring iconic Pop Art sites in the capital, such as Abbey Rd, Battersea Power Station and the National Theatre.
Long term, the Art Bus is intended to be used as an educational tool, touring various schools, colleges and public venues.
