British Library – Beethoven

This very small small fee exhibition includes some exams of original sheet music Beethoven write and given an overview of his life.

There is no photography, and there is a fee to enter (free to members), but due to the size, the price is a bit high for the exhibition.

British Museum – Peru: A Journey Through Time

This interesting exhibition explores Peruvian society and history and brings together artefacts from the museum’s collection and others loaned from elsewhere (but there is nothing about their famous fictitious export Paddington Bear).

The exhibition felt a bit smaller than others that have been in that space, but it is good that members no longer need to pre-book free tickets.

Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material

This is funny in parts, but a bit rude, politically incorrect and pokes fun at a lot of areas.
