I remember writing on here once that I didn’t think london had an equivalent of the Louvre in Paris; no truly stylish, classy buildings. Today I found I was wrong. Today I visited the British museum for the first time, and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw that high, round, glass ceiling and those columns. Okay, it’s not a great glass pyramid, but it seemed jus as awesome to me.

More importantly, I was there with the Rix centre. They were having an event there to trial the use of sensory objects. These are intended to make museum exhibitions more accessible to people with learning disabilities by incorporating more of the senses. For example, a display concerning the spice trade may incorporate the smell of spices, This way, those who learn differenty to how others might are included. It’s a fascinating idea. Not only is it great on a practical level, but there are also theoretical questions which it raises, which I am now getting my teeth into.

It has been a great day: a day of exploration in more ways than one. I went to a great building, and my mind is now abuzz with ideas and questions. Night is drawing in, and as I roll home to the person I love like so many other Londoners, I couldn’t be more content.
