The British Museum exhibition

I decided to visit my home city of London for a couple of days, hoping to visit the print room at The British Museum and catch the 'Revolution on paper: Mexican prints 1910-1960' exhibition. However both were closed and were to be re-opened the day after I would return to Leeds, which was really unfortunate. However, they had a small room open with a selection of different prints and postcards as a preview to the Mexican print exhibition. Photography wasn't allowed, but the prints varied from intricate woodcuts to beautiful etchings of skeletons and death.

I am planning to go back again on November 1st to catch the Day of the Dead celebration at the British museum, where I'll hopefully get to take part in workshops such as sugar skull making, and have a proper look at the print rooms.

Here is a poster I managed to get and a couple of the postcards.
