Yorkshire pub turns up as art installation – but sorry, no beer

Modern art has long prompted some despairing critics to turn to drink but one gallery has neatly sidestepped the problem by installing a mock-up Leeds boozer on its premises.

The pub is complete with a cosy bar, atmospheric wooden furniture and a piano – perfect for a boozy singalong.

But the pub is an art installation erected to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Tate Modern gallery in London.

The hostelry is the work of northern art collective Black Dogs, which hopes to create the atmosphere of a typical Leeds pub.

But unlike every other Leeds drinking den, thirsty gallery-goers will just have to soak up the atmosphere as alcohol cannot be bought on the premises.
