Viime viikolla suhahdin Lontooseen syyslomalle muutamaksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4ksi. Museoista kolusin British Museumin<\/a>, Victoria ja Albertin <\/a>sek\u00e4 Lontoon kaupunginmuseon<\/a>. Samat tuli katsastettua toissakes\u00e4n\u00e4. Museovierailuiden pikauusinta tuli osittain seuralaisen takia, mutta toisaalta oli kiva k\u00e4yd\u00e4 museoissa uudestaan ja perehty\u00e4 esineisiin joiden yksityiskohdat olivat edellisell\u00e4 kerralla j\u00e4\u00e4neet askarruttamaan.<\/p>\n

Galleriassa<\/a> on edellisen visiitin kuvasaldoa. Uusia kuvia on reilu sata. Kunhan olen saanut k\u00e4yty\u00e4 niit\u00e4 l\u00e4pi, lataan parhaat palat galleriaan. Laatu on edelleen ehk\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n sielt\u00e4 t\u00e4nnep\u00e4in, sill\u00e4 ne on r\u00e4psitty vanhalla pokkarikameralla. Joskus viel\u00e4 hankin uuden kameran, jossa on enemm\u00e4n megapikseli\u00e4 ja kunnollinen zoomi.<\/p>\n

Uuttakin n\u00e4ht\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 oli. Pengoin Victoria ja Albertin tekstiilihuoneessa kirjontoja, joihin ei edellisell\u00e4 kerralla ehditty. Oli aivan huippua p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 n\u00e4kem\u00e4\u00e4n alkuper\u00e4isi\u00e4 saksalaisia lasketun kirjonnan t\u00f6it\u00e4. Pussia, johon oma kirjottu pussini perustuu ei tosin valitettavasti ollut esill\u00e4. Toinen kohokohta olivat keskiaikaiset, painetut pellavakankaat.<\/p>\n

V&A:n keskiaika- ja renessanssin\u00e4yttely oli edelleen ty\u00f6n alla. Se aukeaa joulukuun toisena p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4, joten suuri osa eri puolille museota sijoitelluista aikakauden esineist\u00e4 oli jo pakattu tai siirretty uuteen n\u00e4yttelytilaan. Tudor-n\u00e4yttely oli onneksi paikoillaan. Siell\u00e4 riitti n\u00e4ht\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4: kiehtovia kirjottuja vaatteita, myssyj\u00e4, alusmekkoja ja takkeja.<\/p>\n

British Museumin uusittu keskiaikakokoelma oli auennnut yleis\u00f6lle. Se oli hienoinen pettymys – tai sitten British Museumia tyypillisimmill\u00e4\u00e4n: esineet olivat upeita, monet suoranaisia aarteita, mutta esillepano oli vanhanaikaista ja kankeaa. Goottilaisen kauden kultasep\u00e4nty\u00f6n taidonn\u00e4ytteet ovat tyypillisesti pienenpient\u00e4 piperryst\u00e4. Korut oli kuitenkin asetettu turhauttavan kauas n\u00e4yttelykaapin lasista, eik\u00e4 laitettu suurennuslasin alle. Niiden yksityiskohtiin ei ylt\u00e4nyt kameran zoomi eik\u00e4 silmien tihrustus. \u00c3\u201e\u00e4rimm\u00e4isen turhauttavaa.<\/p>\n

Koska viime kuussa tuli reissattua paljon, projektina on ollut neulakinnastekniikan treenailu. Neulakintaan v\u00e4s\u00e4\u00e4minen on mainio matkak\u00e4sity\u00f6. Se vie v\u00e4h\u00e4n tilaa laukussa ja puuneulan saa ottaa lentokoneeseenkin. Yksi sukka on valmis ja toinen tuloillaan. Niist\u00e4 lis\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6hemmin.<\/p>\n

London Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week I went to London on holiday. We did the three must see- museums, the British Museum<\/a>, Victoria and Albert <\/a>and the Museum of London.<\/a> It hasn’t been so long since my last visit, but they’re always worth visiting. It was good to spend less time on taking pictures and more on actually studying some of the pieces.<\/p>\n

Last year’s pictures are available in the Gallery. <\/a>This time, I took a a bit over a hundred snapshots. Once I’ve sorted them, I’ll upload them to the gallery. (I really need to get a better camera. As long as I use our old one, my pics are just snapshots at best.)<\/p>\n

The V&A is just about to open its new medieval and reneissance galleries. Due to the opening in early December, most of the items that had been spread out through the museum were packed up or already taken to the new gallery. Fortunately the textile study hall and the tudor display had a lot interesting items I hadn’t seen on my last visit.<\/p>\n

It was fantastic to see some german counted thread embroidery. Unfortunately the original version of my bag wasn’t on display. It was interesting to see the pouches up close and get to study the construction as well as the emboidery. Another highlight was the collection of medieval printed linen fabrics.<\/p>\n

The British Museum had already opened its renovated medieval collection. This was a bit of a disappointment. It was a very British Museum-like experience, actually. The items were splendid, true treasures. The display, however, was very traditional, old fashioned and didn’t do justice to the items. The most frustrating thing was that some very small items with splendid detail (like poesy rings) had been placed all too far from the glass of the display case. The fine details were not visible to the squinting eye nor the zooming camera.<\/p>\n

On the projects front I’ve been working on naalbinding. It’s an excellent thing to work on when travelling. Light, small and can even be worked on inside a plane. I’ve finished one sock and another one is in the works. But more about that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
