London Film Museum

Today is my beloved other half's 30th Birthday, and to celebrate he wanted to go to the London Film Museum and this is what we saw. ...

 

 We got the good olé Northern Line to Embankment and walked over the Golden Jubilee bridge, such amazing weather this morning, and the views are always lovely alone the Thames. There was a gentlemen playing steel drums just to add to the loveliness of the morning.

 

 

 There were various film props in the Museum, one of the first things you see is The Original Rank Gong which I found pretty amazing to be honest. Some items of clothing that belonged to various actors, and props from various films.

Much to the excitement of Gavin there was a Star Wars exhibition, but unfortunately, as with most of the museum we were limited to what we could take photos of. We saw some original light sabres, sketches, and a Darth Vader.

 I love Harry Potter, such a brilliant series, so when I found this room, I was like a child in a sweet shop while Gavin was dying to get out, so naturally I took more photos here than anywhere else. All these props are originals and in the films. I know there is one or two of you that will appreciate this section.

 Its almost like somebody had planned this, next to the Harry Potter room was a room dedicated to Horror, not my scene. But here you go.

All in all it was a lovely morning, the place was dead, in fact we saw one other couple in there, and I think it helps that it is Wednesday and the kids have just gone back to school. There are some amazing exhibitions on, I won't bore you with them, here is a link instead.
