Today we visited the Natural History Museum and saw the spectacular exhibition called 'Otherworlds - Vision of our Solar System'.  The photography was created by Micheal Benson, using data from NASA and other data collected by exploratory satellites.  The exhibition in London finishes in mid April, and then moves to Vienna.  We were extremely fortunate to have the experience of seeing it.  The exhibition was described as capturing the exploration and discovery of the solar system featuring geological formations on planets.


Andy outside the Natural History Museum before joining the long queue to enter.  As it was a Saturday and the weather was a delightful warm early Spring day there were large numbers of families out enjoying the weekend.

The intricacy of the brickwork and the delicate range of colours let alone the architectural features makes standing in a queue a delight as one has the time to study the exterior in detail.  The inside is just as stunning.
