The "Great Exhibitions" course has been exploring what constitutes a museum, an exhibition, and a collection. Today (New Year's Day) we travelled to the Imperial War Museum, which will close on January 6 for 6 months in order to prepare for the Centenary exhibits. Tomorrow, we're headed to John Soane's Museum. More soon...for now: a few pictures!

Very jealous. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks so much for your comments. We weren't able to visit the Wallace Collection but did manage to see John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields, which is the largest square in London (set in the 1660s), and several "artist's rooms" in Tate Modern, even amidst construction.
Students who are interested in taking up a short-term study abroad course, consider talking to Darrell about his London-Dublin course to be held in December 2014. You have a year to plan for it!
