Famous for his the crystallised skull estimated £55million and the formaldehyde shark, Damien Hirst has a recent art exhibition open at Tate Modern London. Decided as 'Brilliant' by the Sunday times and ‘Beautifully installed’ by Financial Times it's well worth going to see. I went with my mum a few weeks ago and what an experience.
Here is a little information about the exhibition.

The Damien Hirst exhibition is proving very popular, so here are the easiest ways to see the exhibition:
• Become a Tate Member and avoid the ticket queues. Members do not need to book timed tickets. Show your members card at the exhibition entrance.
• Book more than 3 days in advance and we will post tickets to you
• Book online between 4 hours and 3 days in advance of visiting and pick your tickets up in the gallery. Tickets booked via telephone must be done so at least 24 hours in advance.
• Buy tickets from 10.00 on the day in the gallery. There may be queues at weekends and bank holidays, and your ticket may be valid for a time slot later in the day. We advise booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
A little information about Damien himself.
Hirst first came to public attention in London in 1988 when he conceived and curated Freeze, an exhibition in a disused warehouse which showed his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths College. In the nearly quarter of a century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most influential artists of his generation.
I have uploaded photos of what to expect at the exhibition and others of Hirst and his very famous crystallised skull.
