Posted by Katherine on January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 in 20th Century, Digital, Exhibitions

Posters provide striking and familiar visuals that illustrate, decorate and inform the public about the Second World War. The Imperial War Museum displays these posters in some of its exhibits as you might expect, but they also appear as reproductions…

Dover Castle’s Second World War tunnels

Posted by Katherine on September 9, 2015October 4, 2015 in 20th Century, Exhibitions

Dover’s chalky terrain has not only given the town it’s unmistakeable landscape, but has also added extra layers of historical depth to its most famous monument. A visit to Dover Castle is certainly a full day out as it is…

Poppies of remembrance at the Tower of London

Posted by Katherine on September 26, 2014September 26, 2014 in 16th Century, 20th Century, Exhibitions, Medieval

The reason I love the Tower of London so much is that there’s always something new to see and learn. Last time I went I made the most of the free audio guide, but this time I opted to just…

V&A The Museum of Childhood

Posted by Katherine on January 26, 2014September 26, 2014 in 17th Century, 18th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, Exhibitions

I went to the V&A’s Museum of Childhood for the first time on Friday. I had always thought it would be interesting to see all the childhood-related objects collected by the Victoria and Albert Museum in one place, but I…

The Inns of Court: Lincoln’s Inn

Posted by Katherine on January 19, 2014 in 16th Century, 17th Century, 19th Century, Exhibitions, Local, Medieval

I have often walked past Lincoln’s Inn on my way to Chancery Lane and the Maughan Library. Lincoln’s Inn Fields is a beautiful little park to stroll through to avoid the busy roads and it’s amazing how quiet it is…

The Mary Rose – a miracle of conservation

Posted by Katherine on January 2, 2014 in 16th Century, 20th Century, Exhibitions

The new Mary Rose Museum opened this year, and while I haven’t had the chance to visit yet, it’s a good moment to look back at its fantastic history. BBC News broadcast a short documentary about the raising of the…

The Great Hall, Winchester Castle and King Arthur’s Round Table

Posted by Katherine on December 9, 2013 in 16th Century, Exhibitions, Medieval

The Great Hall is one of the most interesting buildings to visit in Winchester as it has an incredible history and is the last remnant of Winchester Castle. Winchester had a castle since the eleventh century, when it was built…

Winchester Cathedral and Christmas Market

Posted by Katherine on December 2, 2013 in 16th Century, 17th Century, Exhibitions, Medieval

I visited Winchester again last weekend for the first time for many years and its still as good as ever. On my trip I managed to fit in the Cathedral, the Great Hall and castle museum, Winchester College, the City…

Too easily overlooked – The Banqueting House, Whitehall

Posted by Katherine on November 1, 2013 in 17th Century, Exhibitions

I must have walked down Whitehall a hundred times, past one stone façade after another, and not realised that such an important building lay just beside me. I knew about the old Palace of Whitehall, which was a key royal…

The Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill Museum

Posted by Katherine on October 30, 2013 in 20th Century, Exhibitions

I visited the Churchill War Rooms many years ago and since my memories of it were hazy, I thought I’d check it out and see how it had changed. I remembered looking in on the old rooms and had a…
