tate modern

we had a family outing to Tate Modern yesterday. We originally were planning on seeing the Jeff Wall photos, but on the way esther spotted a Rousseau painting on a Bakerloo tube station (at Charing Cross?) and she said she had learnt about it at school. So we went to that exhibition instead which was very good.

esther and kezia had little computers which they wore round their necks which explained what all the pictures were about and showed little graphics. it’s all very modern and not like museums we suffered as children (sorry mum if you are reading this!)

we also did some photo practice in the turbine hall of the Rachel Whiteread construction which still hasn’t been knocked down (though i noticed some of the base blocks are now glued to the floor)

i can see this satellite dish from my office window but they are taking it down which is a shame. And i’m going to miss the day the crane comes to carry it away 🙁
