Well for once I have had a weekend to talk about. Kevin, Pat, Chris and I went to canberra for the weekend. The motivation was to see the exhibition at the national library, Handwritten. It was great! "This extraordinary exhibition features 100 unique manuscript treasures from the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library). Spanning more than 1000 years of history, the exhibition includes exquisite illuminated manuscripts, rare letters, sketches and documents and priceless musical scores, each handwritten by major figures in literature, religion, science, music, exploration and philosophy. Beethoven, Galileo, Goethe, Kafka, Michelangelo and Napoleon are just some of the many names represented in this exhibition." Unfortunately for you this is the last week of the exhibition.
While we were there, in Canberra, we also visited the rennaisance exhibition at the art gallery and got up at 6 o'clock (something I would never normally do) and rode my bicycle (something I rarely do) to the lawn in front of old parliment house to see the ballon festival. Quite a full weekend.
Sounds like your weekend was action packed. The exhibition would have been great to have seen. Well worth the drive down there.
