Morwenna Lewis, cultural services director at Falmouth Art Gallery, said: "We've had a really, really positive response from visitors. They've just absolutely loved the fact that all of this amazing artwork is here, it's made its way down to Cornwall and it's free to view.

"We've had days when it has been really busy and it's been quite quite an experience for all staff as well, managing all of these visitors.

"But it's been absolutely fantastic and we've really enjoyed having it here."
