Celtic aura

Thanks to the recommendation of a friend, I went to see 'Celts: Art and Identity' at the British Museum this morning. I just have to say how wonderful it is. Despite the exhibition already being busy, the atmosphere was positively reverential. The low lighting, gentle music and gossamer ceiling create a sense of wonder around the glorious exhibits. It felt almost like being in church. When folks spoke, it was in a whisper, as we gazed at one glowing treasure after another. The exhibition runs until end January so get your skates on if you haven't been already. In this wintry weather, you might even need them....
