I've rarely been as stunned as I was by this incredible collection of photography
Evening Standard|May 22, 2024
I'M not being funny but... how incredible are London's museums and galleries? Last week I said I would share some of my favourite things to do in London that didn't involve drinking. It might be obvious to think of a museum as a good place to go, but sometimes they offer a lot more than we expect.

I've rarely been as stunned as I was by this incredible collection of photography

The Natural History Museum and Science Museum are globally recognised and rightly so. The National Gallery exhibits some of the finest art in the world. My "local" and one of my favourites, Tate Britain, exhibits over 500 years of British art.

We have access to these kinds of places seven days a week with a lot of museums and galleries being freely available, with a small premium for special exhibitions.

What I want to talk about today is the special exhibitions within those spaces. Over the years we've been spoiled with access to some of the most incredible art. Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty at the V&A was one of the most impactful fashion exhibitions, I think, ever created. We were in awe of Yayoi Kusama's retrospective at Tate Modern, originally in 2012, with her instantly recognisable "Infinity Room" installation. Last week I was allowed to experience another inspiring exhibition. I had the honour of being invited to DJ at the launch of Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection at the V&A.

APPROXIMATELY 4.5 billion years ago, astrogeologists (that is, people who study planetary geology, not the grifters who ask for your star sign and suggest that while you might feel overwhelmed, now is a good time to address the big picture stuff in your life) hypothesise that a young Earth collided with a Mars-sized planet called Theia.
