Perfect for a day out this half term, Harewood House, Leeds, kick-starts the year with the extraordinary exhibition ‘Objectivity: the art of useful things’, an eclectic mix of objects collected by artist and collector David Usborne. Usborne’s fascination for useful objects he considers ‘accidental masterpieces’ has created a visual exhibition which captures the imagination of all ages. Catch the exhibition early and visitors have the chance to enter a competition during half term (16th – 24th Feb) to win a day ticket for their family or a £25 voucher to spend in the Courtyard Café, by guessing the use of a mysterious object. Entry to the exhibition is included in a Grounds & Below Stairs ticket, and free to Harewood members. David Usborne’s extraordinary collection of useful tools will be on display in the Servants' Hall at Harewood until 1st September
