The much-anticiapted Len Lye Centre opened over the weekend alongside the refurbished Govett-Brewster Art Gallery. Controversy has swirled around the Centre ever since it was first mooted, dividing the city council, as well as citizens, into opposing camps. However, the new mirror-finished building is now proving to be a hit with locals, with just under 8,500 people visiting over the weekend - and this from a city with a population of 69,000.
