It was pretty awesome cause they had all the exhibitions from the past 6 years on one tiny floor. (2nd floor.)Was interesting to revisit some of the exhibitions I had once seen, for example the way Manga has taken over the world, and the exhibition called play, which involved you having a go at getting involved in the exhibition; fiddling and mixing things. One of them involved a little chinese cat, and you had to press it's paw and it would churn out a ticket:
The one I liked the most is when they had these boxes a few feet from the floor, attached onto stands that you could stick your head in and have a look at these little minature worlds where you can learn, discover, grow, etc. Here's a little preview:

The first floor, was indeed a floor dedicated to hip-hop artists of Britain, and the start of hip-hop music in England.

And, well this photo just totally tickled me.. . hehe
The way back to the car, which was parked in the Northern Quarter, we had a spot of english breakfast tea & quiche in Mr.Scruff's tea shop which was amazing! I can't believe I have never come across it before. I saw this plastered on a wall on the way back, and thought it was too wonderful to not take a photo of:
:D
I think that has inspired me to get on down and see this :-)
