Avante-Garde art and revolutionary science at Hunterian

Suze and i went to excellent exhibition at hunterian gallery earlier... Avante garde graphics... the Hunterian is famous for its Whistler collection but also has touring shows like this one...

plus i noticed they were hanging the Edwin Morgan pictures what he has donated - he was one of my tutors at uni, a very nice man as well as a good teacher, probly wasted on me ;-)

and then we went across to the Hunterian Museum where there was a cool (-273) show - actually a recently opened permanent display- about Lord Kelvin. The real artefacts he used in class and for doing experiments plus some really rather good interactive demos - much better than the Glasgow Science museum, entertained elizabeth (6) and free!
