Shakespeare staging the world

Exhibition in British Museum where we can find out from a visitor (tourist) from 1599 that London is not in England but rather England is in London. Is great to immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare, to see London differently, also the all world.

A portrait of John Donne is impressing where the poet poses as an archetypal melancholy lover.

This beautiful scene has a surprising effect in our society where everyone wants you to smile and be happy all the time. Loving melancholy gives a different perspective. You might feel you are left alone by society and in this term you need the courage of recognising, showing your melancholy.
