MUSEUM events manager Dale Johnston takes a close look at this stunning humanoid creation by acclaimed artist Michaela Bayley.

The exhibition of fantastical creatures has been attracting lots of visitors to Banbury Museum, in Spiceball Park Road.

Ms Bayley’s creations are often used in film and TV and have featured in the TV show Silent Witness and the James Bond movie Die Another Day.

The exhibition, called Transmutation, runs until May 7.

Mr Johnston said: “Each sculpture can take many months to create and the techniques are often experimental and involve many stages.”
