This is another exhibition that I am very late to write about, but again, I can’t not talk about this designer. Mary Quant could be seen to have revolutionised and sexualised fashion for young girls of the 60s. This was a really exciting exhibition for me as it showed me the starting points of fashions…

National Museum of Scotland
This is one of my favourite places in Edinburgh to escape for while. I can tell you that this is a maze of a museum. I have been several times and I always get lost no matter what. The museum consists of several sections but the main gallery has to be my favourite. It is…
New section of the V&A
The new section of the V&A is absolutely stunning. The new extension provides a new entrance, courtyard and gallery. The modern extension somewhat fits into the 19th-century architecture, which is very clever of the architect Amanda Levete. Of course, the V&A is the type of building that you need to focus on the features of…
Scottish National Gallery
The Scottish National Gallery is absolutely beautiful. We came to Edinburgh a day before the University Open Day (due to my insistence/ to get a ‘feel’ of the place) and we packed it full of retail therapy and cultural learning. According to a very lovely shop assistant in Kiehl’s Skincare, the restaurant there has the best scones,…
Manchester Art Gallery
My family and I visited Manchester a month ago to get a feel of the place as my brother is going to university there. We popped into the Manchester Art Gallery to gain a cultural aspect of the city and also at my own insistence. The gallery houses a range of different art from Turner…
Hockney

His work is relevant to my topic of architecture as his collection called A Bigger Photography collages images of…
Leicester Cathedral
I visited Leicester Cathedral about two weeks ago. This cathedral was beautiful, with stunning stained glass windows and the grave of Richard III. I visited the cathedral as I saw the Richard III exhibition and then wanted to see the grave in the cathedral. The cathedral was created with English Gothic architecture and links back…
Museo Picasso Málaga
I really enjoyed the Museo Picasso in Malaga because it was only a small collection and you could really concentrate on the artwork there. There are pieces from earlier in his life and it was fascinating to see how he went from quite a classical painter to a cubist and surrealist painter. Picasso was inspired…
