In 2015 we're addressing another popular promise:this year I will do more culture!
Well we're always pleased to help here at The DC. This January & February will be dedicated to pointing London Walkers and Daily Constitutionalists in the direction of LONDON'S BEST MUSEUMS.
We've canvassed the London Walks guides, asking them to nominate their desert island museum and we'll be posting their responses throughout the month.
As usual, you are more than welcome to join in! Get in touchvia Facebook, orTwitteror viathe usual email address.
"We've all said it: 'Oh, I always meant to go to such-and-such-a-place but never quite got around to it.'
For me it was the Museum of Brands. And how delighted I am to be able to say 'was'.
I finally visited last week and was met with not only a vividly colourful, but also a lovingly detailed history of our consumer society stretching back to the 1890's.
Founder Robert Opie has amassed a collection numbering nearly 12,000 items - amongst which I can guarantee that everyone will find their own advertising Madeleine moment. Informative and lots of fun."
