Final CLUE????

The British Library - opened in 1997!

visited the 
"Magnificent Maps: Power,
Propaganda & Art"
exhibit...


I've always thought of maps
as a geographical document!!?!


but learned...

• maps were also works of art

• propaganda pieces

• expressions of geographical pride

• tools of indoctrination

Sir John Ritblat Gallery

is the location for a "rotating display

of the library's MOST precious items.

we saw...

• the Magna Carta

• Shakespeare's First Folio

• Gutenberg Bible

• a Beatles song written on the back 

of a child's birthday card

(John Lennon's handwriting - card to his son)

DINED

at the "SHAKESPEARE Pub"

(3 minute walk to our final destination)
which was???

...the Victoria Palace...

...our feet are hanging in there!


Tomorrow ~ packing!
