Join Continuing Education Tutor, Phil Olsen, for a wintry creative writing workshop exploring the nocturnal paintings on display in Play of Light – a display of darkness and illusion.  The first part of this informal workshop will be spent in the Victoria Gallery & Museum gallery space, taking inspiration from the artworks and using them as visual prompts. The second part will involve creating some short fiction inspired by one or more of the paintings. Anton Chekhov was quoted as saying: “Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” A few simple writing exercises will explore incorporating high contrast (dark to enhance the light and vice versa); deliberately only showing what is needed (allowing the reader to fill in the blanks for themselves); and imagining what has just happened before – or is about to happen after – a scene depicted in one of the paintings (or what might be taking place beyond the frame). --- About the exhibition: Using the play of light against darkness to add drama and mood has been a feature of art since the Renaissance. This small display shows a variety of ways the technique was applied by British artists of the late Georgian and Victorian eras. Some artists specialised in atmospheric moonlit scenes, which became known as nocturnes after the musical term. They can be seen as part of the Romanticism movement, a way of expressing emotions and evoking ambience through art, literature and music. Artists featured include J.M.W. Turner, Joseph Wright of Derby, John Atkinson Grimshaw and David Roberts.

Liverpool FC&#39;s Anfield Stadium is very new, very friendly to visitors, and the whole arrangement is reasonable. A great football club is not only the effort of the players, but also the fans and volunteers.

Nice exhibition, I used to know only the song, now I know the story. Chinese introduction, very good, I don&#39;t know many details, I found the answer here, it is worth going to the bar again, and then comparing it with here, it is very interesting.

I didn&#39;t know much about this museum at first, but my son insisted on going. I took a taxi in the rain and it was really rewarding. The special exhibition of the return of the gods inside is all cultural relics from the ancient Roman era. It is a group of statues from Zeus in ancient Greece. You can see the complete body of Venus and the heroic Athena. The background music is that people in ancient Rome held banquets and created a god for this purpose. There is a painting from Rubens&#39; studio that is very funny. You can take a closer look. The ancient Egyptian pavilion of the museum made my son praise it. Compared with the exhibition of the British Museum, the layout here is reasonable, the description is clear, and the display is clear! In the eyes of an outsider like me, it&#39;s not crowded with people in the British Museum anyway, and I can&#39;t see anything. I came to Liverpool and I knew that the research on ancient Egyptian civilization here is not inferior to the British Museum! Friends who are interested can come and take a good look. The World Museum is indeed worthy of its name. It has a cultural relic exhibition hall from all over the world. It&#39;s the first time I&#39;ve seen anything related to Eskimos! From clothes to supplies, it&#39;s an eye-opener. There are also Mayan and Indian ones. You can see them even if you don&#39;t go to America. The African part is arranged according to countries and regions, and the exhibits are very rich. There are also reflections on the colonization of Africa in the past, which reflects the conscience of cultural people. The aquarium is very fun. Some of them are local characteristics of Liverpool, which are different from the ones we are familiar with in the Pacific Ocean. This museum is a good place to bring children. Many children are playing in it. There is a large space inside, and you don&#39;t have to worry about bumping into them. The staff are very helpful. When we left, we called Uber. Because parking was not allowed at the entrance of the museum and it was raining heavily outside, we asked the staff about the location of the nearby roads. He specially took out a nearby map for us and introduced the situation in detail. Thank you. In fact, St. John&#39;s Garden is next to the museum, but it was a pity that it rained heavily and we didn&#39;t have a chance to take a good walk. Going further, you can see the Shankly Hotel. My son said that this should be a must-check-in place for Liverpool fans.

This church looks ordinary from the outside, but you will be amazed once you enter. It feels very beautiful as soon as you enter. It is super big inside. It is recommended to come here on Sundays. There will be a choir every Sunday. You can pray with the locals and feel the atmosphere.
