British Museum – I, Object
This new exhibition is curated by Ian Hislop from Private Eye magazine and Have I got News for You. He has selected a number of items which show the different ways in which people have protested over many centuries.
The exhibits include the head of a statue of Emperor Augustus that was buried by his enemies so that people would walk over him (which ironically meant it survived), a pussy hay from the women’s march, a copy of the King James Bible that says “tho shalt commit adultery” and a Banksy artwork that was placed in the British Museum without the museum noticing.
This exhibition focuses on the design and planning of video games in general. It has a few gam s available to play but if it got crowded there wouldn’t be much opportunity to play them. It also doesn’t have much seating. It also has some age restrictions as some of the games are 16 or 18 and up.
I hadn’t heard of the video games featured which may be due to copyright issues.

This is a drama starting Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith as elderly sisters who live by the sea. During the war, a mysterious man washes up on the shore and they help him recover.
This is a slightly oddly made documentary about the career of the actress Margaret Rutherford.
