London Day 2 Sunday 26th:

We went to the Camden Markets (very Busy) had some food and a looked around, next we went to the British Museum I spent the most amount of time in the European Jewellery section, I found a large glass case with small fragments of silver inside, this turned out to be a Viking hoard, with tiny combs and patterned silver. The Cuerdale hoard was found in a lead chest besides the river with 7500 coins, 1200 bullion it was the largest know to western Europe 40kg in total. I also got to see a work I had looked at that informed a previous work I had made this was the ceramic work of Yee Sookyung, Translated vase. After this I went to the Tate Modern and was impressed to see surrealist works of Miro and Dali.
