Dan Birthday London trip – 19th May 2012


Animal’s inside out exhibition - Adapted from Gunther von Hagens' Body Works, this exhibition features 90 plastinated animals and capillary specimens displaying the intricate insides and inner workings of some of the world’s most spectacular creatures, from goats and giraffes to octopuses and ostriches. While photos could not be taken inside the exhibitions, the Central hall of the Natural history Museum houses a plastinated camel.


 
 Wicked the musical - tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students at Shiz University: the blonde and very popular Glinda and a misunderstood green girl, Elphaba. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.




 
Park plaza hotel – located right by the Themes, with the Houses of Parliament opposite this hotel was ideally suited for our travels around London. We had the back view in the cheaper rooms but the room was very nice and not too expensive (£110) for such a central point in London.




 
Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomist - the largest-ever exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's astonishing anatomical drawings at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace. 



Da Vinci's remarkable drawings were intended to be used in a treatise on anatomy, but for unknown reasons he never wrote it. The works were found among da Vinci's personal papers on his death in 1519 but their significance failed to be noticed for almost 400 years.
