Adopting Britain: An Immigrant Exhibition

Last week I was able to go to the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre in London, to visit the Adopting Britain Exhibition that was being held. This exhibition focused on immigration and so, for the most part, it wasn't relevant to the course I am currently studying however it did involve some information about keepsakes, something that is extremely relevant to my course. The keepsakes that were discussed were those that the immigrants brought with them when they left their countries. These objects have then, in some cases, been handed down through generations. I found the exhibit incredibly interesting, and it inspired me into thinking about my own keepsakes.

I am very glad that I visited this exhibit and it has taught me that I should take up the opportunities, when they arise, to visit galleries, and specialised exhibitions, even when I think they don't have much relevance to the course I am studying.
