From east to west

from north to south

and every way betwixt,

on which way the eye alight-

cranes of pulley, rope and metal skeletal

tower above the London skyline.

Seemingly of menace,

they build nests of concrete and steel-

reconfiguring the urban landscape.

Holiday window and street decorations

elevate the joyous, anticipatory mood of the festive season.

Nowhere is this more evident than in London, U.K. :

Lights a – twinkle

Baubles suspended

Trees adorned

People out and about

The holiday hustle and bustle.

A bit of a walk about

The Museum of London

Current exhibition:   The Anatomy of a Suit

(image from museumoflondon.org.uk):

As the capital gets set to celebrate men’s fashion with London Collections: Men, we unpick the secrets of the suit with a free display in the Sackler Hall. Using historical suit jackets from markets across the capital, we’ve dissected a selection of historical jackets in order to trace the technical genius lurking underneath the suit’s surface.

Previous research into the suit has at times overlooked the fact that it is a feat of engineering, with the ability to transform the body. Since the secrets of the suit are hidden on the inside, it’s easy to see why. It’s only through deconstructing the suit jacket and turning it inside out that we can bring its technical genius to the fore.
Timothy Long, Fashion Curator

Until 27 April 2014

The Museum of London

Current exhibition:   The Cheapside Hoard: London’s Lost Jewels

(image from ibtauris.com):

A major exhibition investigating the secrets of the Cheapside Hoard. This extraordinary and priceless treasure of late 16th and early 17th century jewels and gemstones – displayed in its entirety for the first time in over a century – was discovered in 1912, buried in a cellar on Cheapside in the City of London.

Through new research and state-of-the-art technology, the exhibition will showcase the wealth of insights the Hoard offers on Elizabethan and Jacobean London – as a centre of craftsmanship and conspicuous consumption, at the crossroads of the Old and New Worlds. It will also explore the mysteries that remain, lost among the cataclysmic events of the mid-17th century: who owned the Hoard, when and why was it hidden, and why was it never reclaimed? –

Until 27 April 2014
