in London, visited on Friday - my birthday trip

Anyway, a really interesting place and unlike so many museums it seems to live. The skylights make it amazingly light and as it was bright there was a real airiness in what seemed a tight space at times.

If you get the chance it's well worth an hour of your life - I'd love to go for a candlelight viewing

Take the 360 degree tour....

It's also the home of Hogarth's original paintings of the Rake's Progress and The Election

One of the most amazing places to go in London. He collected so many things, everywhere you look there is something new to see.

That's a brilliant place - I used to work just round the corner and spent many a lunch hour in there! :D
