Number, Please? by Salvador DaliA friend and I spent a very happy morning viewing
Artist Textiles, Picasso to Warhol at the Fashion and Textile Museum on Bermndsey Street in London.
It does not seem to be a well-known museum, but it is certainly worth a visit. The last exhibition I saw there was Belleville Sassoon and before that, Kaffe Fassett. Both were glorious, but this was exceptionally wonderful because, of course, I love textiles. If you fancy going, take the tube or train to London Bridge Station (south of the river Thames) and turn right into Tooley Street and then right again into Bermondsey Street. Keep walking until you see it on the left hand side. It can't be missed, as it is painted in very vibrant colours. This part of Bermondsey has been 'gentrified' and it is full of little boutiques and cafes. On a sunny day, it's a good place to go just to look around. This exhibition runs until 17 May 2014.
