This glass scuplture is particularly impressive - hanging over the entrance hall. The guide explained that it took a whole week to assemble it, from the pieces that arrived from the artist.
Otherwise lots of wonderful historic things, like Emperor Shah Jahan's Cup and some funky old-school instruments - and some not so useful anymore instruments:
Given the gorgeous (albeit freezing) day outside I head over to Hyde Park. I was surprised how little was going on here - given it was holidays and everywhere else in London was packed, the park was very peaceful and there were very few people around. Not quite as much character as Central Park, and no cool jazz band playing, but it has its good points.
After wandering through the park I end up at Marble Arch, but shopping at this time is not a good idea! The place is absolutely packed. I manage to find my new favourite muesli bars at Marks and Spencer...after an hour of searching (they were hidden, apparently not as popular with anyone except me) but it was worth it! A muesli bar that I can eat...that tastes good and doesn't cost a fortune..amazing!
By now the cold weather and exhausting schedule has taken its toll: my body has all but given in and I am feeling terrible, slightly feverish with a big headache. But..its my last night in London! So ignoring all that I decide to see another musical...surprise!
This time it's Joseph..a great show, obviously aimed at families and kids, and the skill level here is not really on the same level as Chicago or Phantom. The score is alot of fun and the narrator puts in a good performance - Joseph is played by the popular Lee Mead, who either was a bit off tonight or just not that impressive.
Being Halloween there are lots of crazy people in the streets - and people giving out free chocolate bars - yum!
