Traditional and Neuvo Art in the City

Today was a great day in London. We had plans for the British Museum, the British Library, and the Courtauld Gallery. We accomplished all three in addition to going to see a couple of Banksy graffiti pieces. We have walked a lot, ridden several buses, and been on the Tube regularly. All in all it was wonderful. I got to spend a large portion of the day with my family and we had a blast. It's been great to get to spend a little time with this group of students, too.

Here are the links to Day 4 which included The British Library, The British Museum, and The Courtauld Gallery.

Here are the two Banksy images we saw: the falling shopper and the rat, although the rat is missing the statement the goes with it, "If graffiti changed anything, it would be illegal."

We finished the evening with a great dinner with the kids at an Italian restaurant in a neighborhood around the corner from the BBC broadcasting building. It was awesome to walk around there and see it. I kept looking for Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May but to no avail.
