Hils, Crog, Madam Arcati and I are trolling off to the venerable environs of the Science Museum today for their new blockbuster exhibition Versailles: Science and Splendour, which promises - among myriad other exhibits - a rare view of such items as the world’s most famous watch, made for Marie Antoinette, Louis XV’s rhinoceros, and a royal portrait of a pineapple!
Just as well we're doing something indoors, for after all that glorious sunshine we have had for several weeks we had our first rain showers in ages overnight, and the prospect is for a spell of more "normal" weather for April [i.e. mizzle]...
To mark the occasion of viewing all that opulence, this!
Mais oui!
That sounds like a great exhibit. I look forward to hearing about it.
ReplyDeleteYes, tell us ALL about it.
DeleteIt was Fab-U-Lous! More on that later, no doubt... Jx
DeleteWorth the wait.
DeleteIt's funny; I had this going through my head as we went through the exhibition.

Your fantasy is my reality
