Hello World!

So, here we are. Welcome to my cabinet of curiosities! I hope we'll get to know one another quite well, over time. I'm a bit of a history geek - may as well get it out there in the open now, you'll work it out soon enough- and since I'd love to spend my life turning other people in history geeks too, I'm starting an MA in Museum Studies next week so I can (hopefully) become a curator and share the history love. It's not just about the history though - the course includes art galleries so I'm on a bit of a mission to learn about art and to appreciate it more than just 'ooh thats pretty, where's the cafe?' So, since I spent a lot of time visiting museums and galleries, as well as volunteering and doing work placements, it seems like a good idea to share some of what I see. The inspiring, the beautiful, the downright confusing... the Tate Modern springs to mind here! And I might throw in a bit of literature, and theatre, and generally what's going on in Yorkshire's cultural scene (which is more than you might think!)
