Art and more art

Went to the British Museum yesterday. Vast is not the word. Overwhelming starts to cover it. But really, my mind shut down after about an hour.

Unfortunately, the Japanese woodcut I wanted to see more than anything else was not on display for conservation reasons. >pout< Though, did get to see the Rosetta Stone, and that was really cool. It is a lot larger than I thought it was -- nearly as tall as I am.

Then, met with my friend and we went to a Matisse exhibit at the Royal Academy of Art (? I think this is the proper name?). Very, very cool. Many textiles that he bought and used as inspiration for his paintings; some paintings; some of the cut-out pieces; some of the pen and ink drawings.

I want to re-visit the Musee Matisse in Nice.

Today, will likely go to the National Gallery for a bit.

Q: How do I manage my money so well in London?
A: Spend most of my time in museums and parks.
