Event

Earlier this week I had a chance to visit Leiden, Netherlands, where along with Science Now, we’ve prepared a new exhibition for the Leiden Science Center (Oude Sterrewacht).

“Above and Beyond” celebrates the last 100 years of space exploration and creatively reaches out into the imaginary future. I’ve made several illustrations for the “Visions of the Future” section of the exhibition and I’ll share some more detailed preview soon.

If you happen to be in Amsterdam/Leiden/Hague area, drop by to check it out!

A Local Museum for Local People (called David)

Our location is a Very Rural tourist information centre, with two visitors, two volunteers and a boarder collie. 

Me: We did try to visit the local museum, but it was closed.

Tourist information lady: That is strange. It’s after Easter and before October, and it’s a Tuesday, and it’s not gone half one yet. It should be open, David is very keen.

Her friend: Unless The Other David was due on today?

TIL: I’ll phone David for you and ask him to pop down and open the museum. 

Me: Stammers about that not being necessary, really, even as she’s making the call. 

*quiet fear that this is about to go full League of Extraordinary Gentlemen*

TIL: He’s not picking up.

Me: THANKS BUT DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, WE’LL CHECK OUT THE OLD CINEMA INSTEAD!

*visitors politely flee*
