If your social schedule is getting in the way of cultural pursuits, combine both by attending an evening event at a museum or gallery. The framework is pretty well established - late opening of the current blockbuster show with extra entertainment - but the contents can be impressively unexpected
Dave did:
OK hands up, I didn't necessarily go to the designated late night opening at the National Portrait Gallery, but I was there when it was pitch black outside!
There was a Pop Art exhbition in town while I was visiting, but given that you had to pay a fee to view it I decided to stick to the free exhbitions which were equally impressive.
One exhibition was of the Tudor and Elizabethan era's. Did you know when Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon, she had actually been married to Henry's brother previously? (Her first husband died after a few months...and she married his brother Henry 9 years or so later!). Pretty ironic really when a later wife of Henry's was beheaded after being accused of incestry!
61 down...939 Things to go!
