The national gallery of Victoria has a lovely array of modern contemporary art, each room is a pure delight. I love renaissance art or art from around that period so this place challenged me in ways that were both good and bad. I really enjoyed viewing art in the modern area from a different country, the context is completely different from European art.

I came here to learn more about Australia, to learn more about the aborigines, the Europeans that settled in Australia. Art is a great way to learn, inform, expose certain things about a community and I felt that I understood Australia a bit better than I did before.

Each room is so clean, curated in a way that feels nice and open. The staff are incredibly nice, they had a smile on their face and were always there whenever I needed help. I arrived in the morning and left late in the afternoon, that should tell you how vast this place is. If you're a lover of architecture, you'll love this gallery, it's a really nice space, filled with light and openness.

If you love art, architecture or you want to have coffee, come to this place you'll love it 😊
Granary Square
2024 Jul 24
If you're in the king's cross area and you like public squares then come to this place. It's a large public square with a water feature so if you have kids, I'm sure they will have a lot of fun 😊
If you're a parent there are shops, a few bars and restaurants. Enough to keep you entertained.
The British Museum
2023 Sep 01
What can I say that hasn't been said. Whether you live in London, outside of London, whether you're a tourist or a native in Britain. You have to go to the British museum.
Why? It's amazing. You don't have to be a lover of antiquities to find the museum fascinating. I go to the museum at least twice a year to see an exhibition and I always have a different experience every time I go. I love learning about ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome so I'm constantly updating my knowledge.
I would get a ticket in advance if you want to go to an exhibition. If you've never been, please go, you will not regret it.
Brunel Museum
2023 Aug 10
I went to Brunel university so I have a soft spot for all things isambard kingdom Brunel. I didn't go into the museum because it was closed but I did spend time walking around the museum. Outside the museum there are a few Brunel facts which will amaze and astound the masses. Brunel was a fascinating engineer who pushed the boundaries of what was possible at that time. I can't wait to actually go into the museum and learn more about this tiny intellectual.
Greenwich Meridian

If you want to know more about Greenwich mean time. This is the place to be. There's so much to learn, I found the experience captivating and greatly informative.
Also the views of London from the top of Greenwich are worth the money in itself.
