Tate Modern was a museum in which I had very high expectations. The first few rooms we looked at had some interesting pieces, but it was not the same as the other museums we visited. As I walked through the museum there were only two pieces that really caught my attention. By the end, I […]
The British Film Institute Mediatheque is a great resource for research and a great opportunity to watch films. They have over 30,000 titles to choose from which made it very difficult to choose with film/show I wanted to watch. When I sat down I looked through many films and started three different ones. I realized […]
The Welcome Collection is a museum that almost everyone can relate to in one way or another. Health effects everything one does no matter what that may be. Some of the exhibits at this museum were very interesting to see. For example, the teeth exhibit was interesting because I was able to see the dentist […]

The National Portrait Gallery is a smaller gallery that only includes portraits in its collection. At the time we attended, the gallery was hosting the BP Portrait Award. This is the most prestigious Portrait competition in the world. The art work presented was very well done and enjoyable to look at. Most of the time, […]
84 Charing Cross Road was well-prepared play that took me by surprise. I was interested to see how they would choose to show the letter exchanges between New York City and London and I believe they did very well. The story line was interesting because it was based on a true story. This is not […]
Tate Britain is the first museum I have visited while in London. I have visited art museums back home, but I have not been to very many. I was amazed by some of the art work that was presented. I really appreciated the class discussion because it helped me see smaller details that I may […]
