"In the decade after free admission was introduced, visits to formerly paid-for museums in London increased by around 151%. Today, free admission to museums & galleries has come to embody our shared belief that access to art and culture is a right, not a privilege." www.lbc.co.uk/article/lond...
London's museums are the envy of the world. We must keep them free to enter, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC
Art and culture are for everyone – no matter where they’re from or how much money they earn

A new find-the-tiny-silver-owl photo for you. It’s also worth zooming in for the silver cast I’ve made of a tiny feather, acorn, oak leaf & larch cone, a miniscule piece of coral, a pyritised ammonite & to see the design on the Victorian brooch I’m going to convert into a pendant…
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
