'Model of Holly Street Estate tower block, 1997-98' by Tom Hunter and James MacKinnon in @HackneyMuseum - a nice celebration of the people to whom it was home before demolition in the 2001.

@msmandymcintosh @MunicipalDreams We are displaying this amazing piece by @TomHunterArt until 15 June, before it moves to a larger museum that is able to provide it with a permanent home. However, we understand this is likely the last chance to get a full 360 degrees view! Details - bit.ly/3wZ2Tu6

@MunicipalDreams @HackneyMuseum Is this permanently on display in the museum? It's so beautiful.
