Many times during our visit to the Tate Modern Art Gallery we found ourselves pondering the difference between Art and Rubble. The 160 bricks stacked in 2 layers could have been placed there ready for maintenance but the rope around it indicated art..... or had Workcover cordoned it off? Rob felt he could have a new career as an artist because he is good at stacking bricks! Hanging above us was a square fibreglass mould and there were metal bars arranged artistically.
May is Museum and Galleries month in London. We have taken thisto heart and visited lots. Highlights include the Turner collection at the Tate Britain, the Impressionists at the National Gallery, the glass gallery at the Victoria and Albert and the Egyptian artefacts at the British Museum.
The Bramah Tea and Coffee Museum with its quirky teapots and odd exhibits is not a major tourist attraction but it was fun.
We have fallen into a routine of sightseeing each morning and afternoon with lunch and dinner back at our apartment in a beautiful old building in Westminster.
It has rained every day but we take it in our stride.

I know you have always thought my house messy and in need of renovation.
Now I feel I can let you know, it's just ART! heh.
...and I now know all those books & DVDs artistically stacked on every available bit of floor space is art not clutter.
Glad you're enjoying depite the weather - it's raining here too! (66mm in Bourke yesterday)
