Ghosts in the Gallery

Work:: Ghosts in the Gallery (S0484831325)

Inspired by the National Portrait Gallery Collection, Ghosts in the Gallery tells the story of a girl called B, who has run away from home and finds herself locked in the gallery on Halloween. But she soon realises she is not alone as the portraits come to life and lead her on an adventure across the Gallery walls.
