On the way to the Barbican on Friday, I stopped into the Museum of London.
I'd hoped to see bits of the permanent exhibition that I hadn't had time to
see last time around. But I was foiled in this tactic by a new exhibition
that opened the same day. It is all about artists in London over the years.
The exhibition covers something like four centuries and details how the
artistic focus has moved around London over the years. There are examples of
artists work throughout the period.
Why mention this here? Because it would be great to have an exhibition on
scientists in London. It would be smaller than the art bash, and might have
to end with the 19th century, but I'm sure that someone could come up with a
decent show. Maybe the Royal Society?
Can't let the arts mob have all the fun.
