Question of the week: Can you name a museum you have yet to visit but would like to visit very soon? "I’ve never been to the Canal Museum. Although it is not a very popular museum, I am driven to believe that it must be fascinating and have wanted to visit for a while. A very short walk from King’s Cross station, the museum focuses on a London resource that we can all appreciate, both in beauty and function. It houses an interesting history on how canals came to be built and how they work, the lives of the waterway workers, and you can even look inside a massive ice well where ice imported from Norway used to be stored.
The Canal Museum is certainly not a top priority on any tourist’s list, but for those who have the chance to live in London, even for a short four months, it is worth a visit; if not for intellectual gain, at least for the sake of visiting an obscure museum that is probably full of Londoners!"- Christina
