Hunkering Down In The Churchill War Rooms

Definitely rooms without a view. The Churchill War Rooms, underneath the Treasury building in central London, were the headquarters, bunker for the UK government during WWII. Decommissioned in 1945, the rooms opened to the public in 1984. The web of spaces is half historical artifact, half wax museum re-creation.

One of the meeting rooms. Probably not holding a grocery list.

Churchill's personal kitchen. The big dog eats best. Mrs Churchill's cozy confines.

House phone, cigar lounge.

The typing pool room. Gotta present well. In the map room, always plotting.

Churchill's bedroom. Wallpaper as geography lesson.

The Secular World At The Thai Human Imagery Museum

After the parade of monks, the Thai Human Imagery Museum displays a mish mash of figures: some Thai royalty, some Thai cultural scenes, famous world leaders. It's possible for anyone to make an appearance.

Two Thai kings.

Everyday life, to the extreme. Reading a paper and staring. Intense.

Sir Winston Churchill. Brooding.

Wizard? Sage? Fashion icon? The coolest accordion player in the world.

Thai grab bag.

A slavery section, featuring both local Thais and slaves from the United States in chains. Painful.

Pinup star Mahatma Gandhi.
