Recently visited the Horniman Musuem in Forest Hill, which has a new exhibition room with a vast and rather fantastic collection of musical instruments from all over the place, including drums made from human skulls an a few cool synths (oberheim expander and dx7 with mouthpiece controller) and digital tabeltop displays that allow you to listen to what the instruments sound like too.
Also visited the Hunterian museum in Lincoln's Inn fields recently, which is probably one of the most amzing collections I've ever seen. It's incredibly macabre but brilliant; there lots of ghoullish 'curiosities' there. Plus it's a really fascinating insight into the birth of medicine as a discipline and it's impact on how we see ourselves and our bodies.
Also the John Soane Museum, also in Lincoln's Inn fields, has a late night on the first tuesday of every month (I think...); it's pretty neat seeing the collections by night, one of the rooms was lit by candles too which was a nice touch.
Any suggestions for other musuems to visit in London .. or europe? Or even to just peculiar places worth seeing? I'm interested in checking out the ruins of the Necropolis Railway at some point too - I guess I'm interesting too in finding out if anyone's heard of or found any peculiar spots in London that have an intersting history or aspect, that they'd like to share ....
