Goose & Button Go to the Museum! (Date 1)

Hello!

So Aslan and I are doing this new thing where each week we're going to make it a point to go on a date!

(AWW)

Last year, we were both a tad too homebound & mutually decided we needed to make a change!

The dates are going to be all sorts of things!

(preferably free, but occasionally we'll part with some loose change).

We are also starting another thing. Everything written likes this is done by me (Estée). And everything written in italics is done by me (Aslan), just to save everyone the confusion and the fact that I hate referring to myself in the third person. Anyway, lets get on with the romance shall we:

This week, we went to TATE Britain.

Me trying to be CUTE in the underground. I even curled my hair!

To see my full outfit of the day, take a look here! She looked really nice that day, in fact I felt bad because I made no effort whatsoever, and when I say that i am not being modest (I wore drainpipe brown trousers). 

Nearly there! The tube station in Pimlico is decorated appropriately which is always nice to see. There is not enough variety on the underground.

Dr. Seuss trees. The tree surgeon had a field day, it did make them look like ents though.

Here you have it! TATE Britain!

This was my first time there! 

To be honest, I don't really "get" art in the same way others do.

BUT-when I see something I like, it really speaks to me.

I really love TATE Modern, so I was a bit worried I wouldn't like this one as much! Turns out I do!
It always seems like TATE Britain is always overshadowed by its bigger sibling, but to be honest it is much more pleasant (fewer groups of loud european students!), approachable (different art from different periods means there is something for everyone) and smaller (your feet will be much happier).

Aslan can't seem to resist concave mirrors.

I love taking pictures of people in meseums/art galleries.    

Quite the chandelier. 

For some reason I was really drawn to this. 

It kept flashing on and off in an artistic manner.

Lord knows what it's meant to represent, but it was nice.
I think this actually won the Turner prize a while back, and I can remember a lot of people getting in a hissy fit about the most coveted british modern art prize being awarded for the lights being turned on and off. 

These stairs were quite a nice surprise, usually everything but the art in galleries is clinically white.

Of course, I can't go anywhere without getting hungry!

I casually made my way down to the café & got some designer ready salted crisps.

Whenever Aslan & I go somewhere, he usually gets into some sort of mood where he ends up giving me this face.

APPARENTLY he does it because he's imitating me! 

HOW DARE HE! 

He's just mad because I made him eat the gross, soggy biscuits from the café that cost £5.

That's it!

Date number 1.
