Ah, I was thinking of 'Bedlam' in it's generic "This place has been like Bedlam today" use but interesting none the less. > Which is, of course, an >exhibition entirely about human madness. In principal I suppose it is. Assuming you are ok about being forced to speak another language etc. > On that scale Rowland is just >another nutter- not worth seeing. Careful, he might resemble that comment! ;-) > >But it's a fine museum, superbly curated. It's funny, living 12 miles from 'The City' and working there for some of my life means I try to avoid the place like the plague. That means I also miss out on some of the good things it may have to offer. To offset that when we are on our motorcycle / camping trips we try to fit in all the 'interesting' stuff along the way. These range from getting the story of Beddgelert from our daughter (pillion aged 8) as we went past because they had covered it at school to going to 'Techniquest' in Cardiff (for the same reasons) to the slate / copper mines and steam railways in Nth Wales. The Eden project was fantastic, as was Beamish, model villages all over the country and small private military museums in Norfolk to huge Army Bases in Dorset. All that and a 'holiday that starts as you pull away from your front door. ;-) Cheers, T i m

Seems to me that that's an over-reaction. Now I'm truly ancient, my bus pass provides me with an infinity of pleasurable experiences. But the IWM is well worth a visit. Intelligent. Not jingoistic. Also a splendid building. -- Peter

Has the plague finished now then? Ok, once I've seen everything there is to see away from London perhaps I'll reconsider. ;-) > Now I'm truly ancient, my bus >pass provides me with an infinity of pleasurable experiences. I'm not sure 'bus pass' and 'pleasurable' should be in the same sentence, unless the bus is the (otherwise empty) one from Porthmadog to Pwllheli and back to our campsite at Llanystumdwy. More like a 52 seater minicab than a bus and cleaner and more punctual than both. ;-) > >But the IWM is well worth a visit. Intelligent. Not jingoistic. Also a >splendid building. I'm sure it is, just unfortunate it's in London. Cheers, T i m |
