I think this might be worth reposting in the absence of anything else compelling for the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this was my outing with my grandson on March 9th 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our second museum outing we went to the British Library. He didn&#8217;t like the Beethoven exhibition. It was too dark and nothing to surreptitiously climb on. He definitely does not like dark exhibitions. This is a shame because it seems to be the design idea of the moment. The Nero and the Stonehenge exhibitions were also dark spaces. The desigers working on creating atmospheric views using bright colours, spot lighting and spectacular objects on a dark background. But it doesn&#8217;t work for a sensitive 20 month year old!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nor did the largely text based Paul McCartney&#8217;s Lyrics exhibition attract a second of his attention.  &#8216;Paul who?&#8217; he seemed to be saying as we stumped past to the very quiet sound of &#8216;Hey Jude&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What he did like was the escalators. We went up and down, and up and down, and then onto the second set where we repeated the repeat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bl_oct_17_04-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">British Library &#8211; note the escalator to the right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we went down and back up again, and no time to see the enigma machine.

This was smashed into hundreds of pieces, in 1848 by a drunken visitor. He threw a sculpture into the case and smashed the vase. It was restored, but 37 pieces were missing.
