Default A day out at the London Design Museum to see the Super Contemporary

Hey all - London is such a great city ... I find that there is always something new to do .. The newest opportunity I had was to go to the London Design Museum to see the Super Contemporary Exhibition...I'd really recommend it - so many fantastic artists and I really took to Zaha Hadid who's work was superb. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did ... thought this was the most appropriate place to post - however, i am happy to take it down juts thought as it's related to London it would be nice for you all to know what the newest exhibits are...enjoy

Another place worth checking is Madam Tussuad in London..we visited it early this year and is also very interactive.

Nigel Coates is actually well known in the UK, he exhibited three lamps designed for Italian lighting company Slamp at Euroluce in Milan back in April. It was a magnificent display of art!

I agree Fopuls45 - Nigel Coates is pretty amazing - found this supercontemporary.co.uk/?s=nigel-coates - His work of what i saw at the exhibition is still very much based around buildings and he manages to give us a 3D representation of the Battersea Power Station and how he had blended it into the neighbor hood. Genius - Definitely works.
