Posts under ‘museums’

Sometimes it's too easy to forget just how much there is to discover or revisit in London. Last week I went to a preview of a great exhibition of Hypercomics, which has filled Battersea Park's Pump House Gallery with magical mystery and multi-directional narrative.

Last weeek I was supposed to go to Brighton for the day. I'd planned to attend a sewer tour with the Brighton Flickr group, and hoped to see the Charley Harper exhibition and had booked an advance train ticket to save money (less than a tenner instead of over twenty quid). Unfortunately, due to the [...]

The day after I went to Bekonscot it was the Lates night at the Science Museum, and I got to see my stitched self on display, along with 258 others…

This Wednesday there's a Science Museum Lates event, for the launch of the new Who Am I? gallery, where you'll be able to see mini-me, on display with lots of other self-portrait dolls

I must apologise. Things have kind of fallen into the moat here at Mondo Towers (NB: this is just a clever turn of phrase. I don't actually have a moat. Or live in a tower). There are lots of things I've neglected to write about lately, possibly because I've been busy actually doing them, but I feel like I should at least mention some of them here. So this is the first of a few (long) catch-up posts. This one's mostly about MORBID DETH and body parts. (I'd like to promise that the others aren't going to be so gruesome — but I can't as at least one other upcoming post is about MORBID DETH too.)

I only found out about the A Moment In Time project about 10 minutes after it was supposed to happen, but I decided to take part anyway, partly because it would give me something good to take for 'Roid Week as well. So here's the view through my window on a rainy day. I love [...]

I spent last Saturday exploring two different industrial sites in south London. The first was the big hot ticket, a tour of the Brunel tunnels, open to pedestrians for the first time in almost 150 years. This was a great opportunity to see what was once known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, especially [...]

(Working off a backlog of blogposts that are knocking around my hard drive — apologies in advance for the flurry of posts you'll get today.)
A couple of weekends ago a group of us went to visit Chislehurst Caves for Jodi's birthday, and it was great! I found it sort of amazing that there's this huge [...]

Last Saturday I spent the day at the seaside in Margate with the Shabby Seaside Appreciation Society. The day didn't start off at its best — our excitement at getting one of the new fast-track Javelin trains at St. Pancras soon dwindled when we found ourselves an hour behind schedule due to "a death on [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, I spent last weekend looking at more arty stuff. It started in Trafalgar Square on Saturday morning to see my friend Myk Reeve posing on the fourth plinth as part of Antony Gormley's One and Other. He was the fifth of six people that I've met to appear [...]
