Freedom Pass Wanderers
FREEDOM PASS WANDERERS - Group Leader: Howard Mather
Another thought provoking, educational Freedom Pass Wander outing today. An original fully functional Thomas Crapper, crapper.
THOMAS CRAPPER ASIDE.....
Freedom Pass Wanders visited two truly magnificent museums, hidden in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Sir John Soanes and The Hunterian Museums.
The Soanes is world renown gem of a collection, filling three, five storey regency mansions with pictures, objects d'art and architectural pieces across the ages. It was hard to ingest all the collection in a single visit. We then sauntered across to The Hunterian.
This is located in the Royal College of Surgeons mansion, wow, if the Soanes was an assault on our senses this was but multiplied by ten. A Museum that charts the history of Medicine/Surgery throughout the ages. By thousands of exhibits, interactive displays and audio visual presentations. My glib pre-visit comment of "Lots of bits in jars", was dwarfed by reality. We will be revisiting, as there is so much to see and read plus they will provide a guided tour of the entire facility.
The group then split between homeward bound, All Bar One and The Shakespeare Head.
Please contact Howard to join the group.
