Rooms: Francis Bacon in Wartime London is an upcoming event that is part of The Paul Mellon Centre's summer Research Lunch series in 2023. The event will take place at the Paul Mellon Centre, located at 16 Bedford Square, London, WC1B 3JA. On November 17, attendees will have the opportunity to hear Altair Brandon-Salmon, a PhD candidate in art history at Stanford University, discuss the impact of bombsites on post-war British art and architecture. Brandon-Salmon's research focuses on the significance of Francis Bacon's dilapidated flat at 7 Cromwell Place in South Kensington during World War II. It was in this studio that Bacon created groundbreaking work, including Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. By incorporating bomb dust into his paint, Bacon captured the unprecedented destruction of London and its influence on his art. The event will explore the connection between Bacon's upbringing in colonial Ireland and his life in war-torn London, shedding light on how these environments shaped his approach to creating space in his paintings. The event is free to attend, and promises to provide a unique perspective on the intersection of art, history, and the human experience. Image caption: 7 Cromwell Place. Photo by Brandon-Salmon.

Highly recommend the British Museum for at least one day tour. We arranged a tour of the British Museum on the last day of the 10-day UK tour. Found that we arranged three hours too little. Fortunately, we have participated in the teacher&#39;s explanation group, through the teacher&#39;s wonderful explanation, we know a lot of the history and origin of the previously blurred cultural relics. Let us have a vivid human history lesson at the British Museum. Seeing the long-awaited kiln, Tang Sancai, saw the exquisite memory of Chinese historical relics. Teacher Bilan also uploaded a few photos of the kiln after the team ended, so I kept a precious memory and beautiful photo in regret.

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

This time I brushed it twice. This time I took my family to sit together. It felt really good overlooking half of London and the Thames. The only fly in the ointment was that the weather was not good enough, and the scenery was too far from sunny and cloudy.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
