The glorious 'more is more' aesthetic at the immaculate Wallace Collection in London.
One of the city's hidden gems and free to visit.

Genuinely could have stayed in the armoury section for hours looking at the swords, shields, armour & battle paintings. It was a little Battle of Helm's Deep in parts which I loved. I do like a nice looking sword ⚔️

Spent a few hours here, including a free tour of its collection highlights. Absolutely fabulous & well worth it. And it’s free! Donations welcomed. #TheWallaceCollection

I should have added that I will be back at #TheWallaceCollection next month to do some #Sudbourne #OnePlaceStudy research in their library. When I finish there, I’m off to the #BritishMuseum for more #OnePlaceStudies research!

On Sunday I visited #TheWallaceCollection, former home of Sir Richard Wallace, who was for several years #OnePlaceLandowner of
#Sudbourne. I was struck by the opulence & grandeur of the house & its contents.

One exhibit in this lovely collection is my poem, 'The Wallace Collection'. Fittingly, it ends in blue: 'Bleu beau, bleu lapis, bleu celeste'... #museums #museumpoems #thewallacecollection
