Thank you for your message.

I’m sorry but at the moment getting to Compton Verney by public transport is difficult, but we are currently looking into this situation. You can of course get the train from Birmingham to Leamington & it would be a short taxi ride from there. I hope this helps.

I look forward to going there

I love installation art and Greenaway films

Compton Verney - ComptonVerney.co.uk: "Peter Greenaway is one of the most original filmmakers working anywhere in the world today. At Compton Verney, Greenaway re-visits the setting of his first feature film, The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), a thriller played out against the backdrop of an English country estate. In this setting Greenaway introduces the figure of Tulse Luper (sometime hero of his earlier films and possibly Greenaway's alter-ego) to act as a guide and interpreter of events and their impact on the house and landscape."
- and the soon to be released The Tulse Luper Suitcases (2004).

At the heart of the exhibition is a collection of 92 suitcases that Luper has supposedly abandoned on his travels. The contents provide clues to his existence, his obsessions, the people he has met, and the places he has visited.
