History and Me

Having spent most of this weekend buried under a pile of paperwork, I am now coming up for some air and to rather belatedly post about an exhibition I went to see last weekend at the British Museum. Some time ago I went to the wonderful Babylon exhibition which finishes this week, but last weekend I went to the exhibition about Shah Abbas - which proved to be really interesting.

I learnt many things that I did not previously know and enjoyed the spectacle of it all- the wonderful textiles, ceramics, poetry and literature as well as the history of it all. This coming weekend, I am hoping to go into London again to see the Byzantium exhibition at the Royal Academy. I've never been to the Royal Academy so I am very much looking forward to this.
