Has anyone here been to see it? FPJ

Yes - went last Saturday. Very good and well worth visiting. If you need food on a Saturday (or other peak times) go to the tea room on the first floor - less crowded than the café on the ground floor.

Has anyone seen the book that accompanies the exhibition? Wondering if it's worth buying. I already have Lee Miller's War, which was published some time ago.

I've seen the book (though not the exhibition). It looked interesting enough but not sufficiently different from any other Lee Miller book I've seen to be especially compelling. Probably one for the ardent fan or somebody who hasn't already got a Lee Miller book.

I saw it recently and was impressed by her pictures and the exhibit itself, but I've haven't got any books or knowledge of her or the photographs beyond being vaguely aware of the work she did, so perhaps I was always going to be a little more impressed than those more conversant with her work and life story.

Having seen the exhibit I'd have been quite keen to go along to the curator talk, I've been in the past and they can be informative and engaging events, but I'm away and won't be able to make it even if I could get a ticket.
