Was really interesting to hear that the museum is alms houses from 1714. I have been a couple of times before but it is always interesting to hear how and why things are curated.

Also had a talk straight after from artist Alex Blum, who had been drawing on a constructions sight in Dalston. Nice drawings. alexblum.co.uk. Think i'd like to sit on some scaffolding and draw all day. As long as there were cats around.
