Visiting the DLI Museum Durham

I also visited the DLi museum during on May 24 2012 and their was 3 different exhibitions:

1. 'The Yompers' - a fighting Royal Marine's perspective of the Falklands War. By Ian Gardiner
2. "Remembering War Horses" it was about the 2nd world war
3. "Love me" by Zed Nelson, who took pictures of people doing plastic surgery, to change their appearance

The love me exhibition had an impact on me because Nelson showed the vanity of plastic surgery and how important the outward physical appearance is for some people. Nelson's powerful images shows some people almost as victims of cultural brainwashing. Across the world people are led by media and society to want to look younger, thinner, have bigger breasts or smaller noses. Or want what they haven't got. Crazy and they will spend any amount of money to achieve this, their values are all wrong.

Visit to the Oriental Museum Durham University

I visited this museum on May 30th 2012, when the Manga exhibition was on where some of the students I knew from our sixth form got involved and the notes I made at the time, I'm just putting them on the blog now.

For information the term Manga is mainly used in English speaking countries to describe comics of Japanese origin. If the Manga comic is successful enough, someone may make and animation or a film of it, another word sometimes is used to describe any animated film is Anime

I've uploaded some of the images I took while I was there to prove it but they're in a different page
