They are currently showing a  retrospective of the work of the Czech designer Libuše Niklová (1934–1981), famous for creating toys such as the all famous Sophie the Giraffe. This is such an inspiring exhibition and insight into the work of the designer whom From the 1950s to the 1980s, designed so many wonderful creations. This exhibition is on until November 2011 it is well worth a visit
