AN AFTERNOON AT THE MUSEUM
A couple of weeks ago, I was enjoying one of those lazy Saturdays where you don't really do an awful lot. I'd been for a morning run near where I live, which involved me huffing and panting down the Curry Mile looking like a human tomato, and got back to find my flatmates all chilling in the kitchen. I proceeded to join them, and we subsequently spent a good five hours just sat around the kitchen table, chattering away and admiring the naff weather outside. It was whilst doing this that a little seed of inspiration began to bloom inside my mind. I'd been thinking about potential blog posts, when I suddenly thought back to the day after I moved in, and my flatmate and I decided to visit the Manchester Museum of all places. The museum is part of my university (sounds nerdy but I think that that is just insaaaanely awesome) and I can honestly say it's one of the best museums I've ever been to, which is a lot coming from someone who doesn't normally get the point of museums and so wanders around aimlessly without taking a single thing in. It isn't a massive museum, but it's full of some really amazing, beautiful and interesting exhibits, which are presented so artistically and aesthetically that the museum essentially becomes an incredible source of artistic inspiration.
And that is mainly why on that rainy, lazy Saturday, I decided at four in the afternoon that I would dress inappropriately for the weather (ballet pumps and no umbrella in rainy Manchester= not my best idea), and head off on the bus, armed with my camera, to go visit the museum. I hadn't been back since the time I went with my flatmate, and recalling how good I'd found it the last time, and knowing how awesome any photos from the museum would look on my blog, it seemed like a really logical idea. And even though I got incredibly drenched, it was wonderful escaping the gloom outside and exploring the wonderful museum all over again, and now a couple of weeks later, I'm ready to show off my photographs to the world. I hope you like what you see, and if you ever find yourself in Manchester I'd highly recommend you pay the museum a visit (even if you don't normally like museums), cos you will laaaav it.
