THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING
presents Nek Chand Saini
Part of Alternative Guide and Festival of Neighbourhood
11 June - 26 August 2013

The Museum of Everything is the world's first and only wandering museum for the undiscovered, unintentional, untrained and unclassifiable artists of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

Established in 2009, the museum has welcomed over 500,000 visitors to its ambitious installations across the globe and is one of the leading international advocates for self-taught and non-traditional art. Collaborators include major artists, curators, writers and thinkers, alongside institutions such as Tate Modern, Garage Center for Contemporary Culture and Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli. Recent projects in 2013 include installations in Paris, Moscow and Il Palazzo di Everything at the Venice Biennial.

It all started with Exhibition #1 - The Museum of Everything's inaugural show in Primrose Hill - where the very first room contained sculptures by Nek Chand. This collaboration with Hayward Gallery is a recollection and celebration of that special time, in association with the artist himself and the Nek Chand Foundation.
