Superb! I will travel to London to see it as soon as the Olympics are over.
I would soooo love love see it!
am trying to figure out why you continually harp about diana...who cares the woman is dead and ya need to let her rest in peace..now an exhibit of queen victoria and prince albert would def. be worth seeing
Um, Queen Victoria is also dead...
But her memory lives on, as does this: http://www.newadventuresofqueenvictoria.com/
I'd like to go to England, sometime. North Yorkshire, actually.
What the heck did they put in the Queen's bedroom??? An ART installation??? It looks like the back room of a radio repair shop! Utterly and completely innappropriate! Disgusting. When I travel across an ocean to see historic homes, I want to see exactly that...a historic home. If I wanted to see that modern ART crap I'd go to the Tate Modern. We saw some similar nonsense last year at Versailles. The rooms there were also crammed with "art" from current "artists" and it looked just as tacky. Yuck. Whose bright idea was this anyway?
let her go shes dead
