About Abstract
Abstract is a contemporary art gallery just outside Loughborough, and it's the sort of place that either clicks with you immediately or leaves you wondering what the fuss is about. The gallery focuses on modern and abstract work - think bold colours, experimental installations, that sort of thing - and the space itself is thoughtfully laid out without feeling pretentious.
It works best for anyone with a genuine interest in contemporary art rather than casual browsers looking for a quick cultural tick-box. You'll get more from it if you're the type who actually enjoys standing in front of a piece and letting it sit with you for a bit. An hour to ninety minutes is about right, depending on how deep you want to go. Kids might find it a touch dry unless they're already au fait with modern art galleries.
The gallery is free to enter, which is brilliant, though opening hours can be a bit sporadic so ring ahead before you trek over. It sits well within a broader Leicestershire arts visit - Loughborough itself has decent cultural offerings, and if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Proctors Park or High Meadows Farm, it's easily doable as a morning or afternoon stop-off without eating into your holiday.
Worth a visit if you're into this sort of thing, but don't go out of your way if abstract art leaves you cold.
