'Treasure Island' portrays the artistic evolution of the British Isles, from religious sculptures - damaged by the Puritans during the Reformation - to Pop Art pieces by Blake and Hamilton and Toni Cragg's emblematic 1981 sculpture `Britain Seen from the North´.
According to the organizers, its title 'invokes the eponymous novel by the British writer R. L. Stevenson, showing how the island has a treasure -its art, painting and sculpture- which, like almost every treasure, remains half-hidden, waiting to be discovered.' Very impressive.

It is true that we don’t know much information about the British art. In my opinion, Treasure Island is an interesting and complete exhibition for discovering it, and for admires the wealth of their culture. If we visit it I’m sure that we will realize that Britain is a real treasure island.
