The world-renowned artist and internet sensation Mr Doodle will have his first UK museum exhibition in the city of Bath this summer.

Mr Doodle, also known as Sam Cox, has captivated 2.9 million followers on Instagram with his unique artistic vision and innate passion for doodling. After studying Illustration at the University of West of England, his prodigious talent propelled him to global fame.

The historic Holburne Museum will be taken over by the artist’s unique artistic vision, from 3 May to 1 September 2024.
