Remember Hart Beat? At the end of the programme Tony Hart would walk the camera through a white wall covered with talented or less talented paintings and pencil drawings sent in by children. This gallery is like the same thing, times a hundred, without the benefit of Tony's encouraging/patronising voiceover.

The mission statement of the gallery is all about promoting world peace and harmony but you would never, ever find a politician browsing the lively, perspective changing and occasionally tragic art on these walls. For a start, they all look like they were done by children.

Some may say it's load of mawkish mimsy and that it operates on the same principle as a school play - the place is full of dutiful (and envious) parents. Others, though, are constantly amazed by the musings of the younger generations, and return trips are certainly not unheard of. The issue that lingers over the place (like a bad smell?) is whether the images even constitute art.
