The Ouroboro serpent, which swallows it's own tail as a symbol of infinity. The serpent's scales are made of interlocking plastic jerry cans. A very interesting piece, but I'm sure there where some more surreal things in the Surreal Things exhibit, but well I had no interest in seeing that. Plus the queue for tickets was amazing, which is a shame as we where going to try and see the Kylie exhibit, but I hate queueing lol, so maybe we'll pop in there again next time we nip up to London.
After lunch we all went off to the Japan Exhibit, where the children took part in the Japanese activites - well all but Tom and Robynne, we let them go off exploring on there own - just wish I'd managed to get a photo, of all of their lovely Samurai Helmets and Kimono doll's. Tho' I'm pretty sure we will be doing Japan as a theme for the H.E group and that template for a helmet that somehow managed to make it home with me, will be well used I'm sure.
We spent a far bit of time in the Japan exhibit, while the children did the activities. Then we split up, some went home then, but the rest of us stayed and agreed to meet up an hour or so later for the journey home. As Robynne is very into her drawing we went off and checked out the Prints and Drawings exhibit, while she had a long look round I found myself a seat and settled down for a long wait.
Oh in the morning we had spent a long time in the sculpture's area and also looking at some very interesting fashions of yesteryear, and in the presence of some very large paintings.
Tho' later Robynne informed me that she didn't think we were allowed to take photo's of the very large paintings.

Glad you had a good time, the Japanese exhibit looks good.
