musEYEum

[slemslempike]

The British Optical Association Museum calls itself a musEYEum! I am very pleased indeed. Furthermore, they are "open to the public most week days and we are delighted that you would like to come and see us". Bless.

I have also decided that anything with an admission fee of over £5 is optional. Up to that amount I am happy to pay even if I don't personally have an interest, in order to support this our nation's priceless heritage etc. I am not, however, paying FIFTEEN POUNDS to see The British Music Experience, even if it does have Humph's VE day trumpet.

Tidying derailed by urgent need to make an Access database of museums in London with address, opening hours and admission price. Because if I don't do it now I won't know which to prioritise while I have weekdays free.

Oh, that is so pleasant!

Isn't it! I have pretty much no interest in the British Optical Association, but I'm rather looking forward to visiting their museum now.

I have just investigated the MusEYEum's website, and found the Can the Eyes of the Dead Talk? section to be morbid and wonderful.

I do not recommend the section about glaucoma, but I am now going to read about the fascination world of ocular prosthetics.

Oh, wow! Now I'm really looking forward to it. When I have been I will let you know if it lives up to expectations.

Yay! I will look forward to a report of your visit.
