That London...

[graculus]

Final reminder for London-based or London-adjacent folks that I'm off to that London tomorrow for a couple of days and you are welcome to join me/meet up for dinner and/or mooching around various museums with myself and other folks who've already indicated they can get with the program

The Celts exhibition is very good, I saw it when I was there on Nov. As I have to go to London for work on March (what a hardship hehe) and I'll stay a couple of days extra, I might check the one about Black Georgians, sounds very interesting!

It's a very small exhibition, but Brixton is an interesting area of London if you've not been there before.

I highly recommend the Cosmonauts exhibition, I liked it much more than the Celts one which I didn't think was that well-designed and they seemed to have over-sold the tickets.

I can't remember, so it's worth checking. I'll see if we can see the cosmonauts one. Imwa lucky because I visited the celts one early on and it was quite empty. Crowds can really make one enjoy exhibit less, it happened to us with the vikings one :-(

It could have been because it's finishing at the end of the month so people were rushing to see it, but the layout didn't really 'flow' - they could have done, for example, with the video at the beginning being in a different room as that was the first bottleneck.

I also thought they were a bit too interested in the Celtic revival stuff (though oddly enough, mostly the stuff with Ossian etc. while the role of women in reviving interest in both Welsh and Irish mythology was glossed over) to the detriment of the actual Celts. But it was probably all worth it just for the Gundestrup cauldron, though!
