The London Traveler

4th of July at the British Museum

by Andrea on June 20th, 2008

Americans in London always organise some nice Independence Day celebrations. But this year the British Museum is helping out.

There will be lindy-hopping. There will be jazz. There will be American food. There will be American beer tasting!

It all coincides with the exhibition The American Scene, which shows prints from Hopper to Pollock. Festivities start at 630 in the evening in Room 24.

For the more studious, there’s a talk on collecting American prints at 1.15 in the afternoon in Room 90.

And the Great Court is open till nine in the evening with a mix of vigorous activites including basketball and American football.

And as usual with the BM, possibly London’s greatest bargain, admission is free.
