Question of the week: Can you name a museum you have yet to visit but would like to visit very soon? "I would like to visit the All Visual Art Gallery in the King’s cross area (2 Omega Place). It specialises in highly innovative contemporary art, now featuring an installation on intricate interior living and library spaces by the French artist Charles Matton, which is commended in this week’s Time Out as the ‘Exhibition of the Week’. The King’s Cross area, once very run down, is going through a stunning transformation with new galleries, performance spaces, and cool restaurants emerging at such a rapid pace that some have dubbed it (you will get the joke) ‘North Bank’. At the heart of it all is the British Library, which offers in addition to its world renowned book and manuscript collections a striking (free) public gallery displaying such rare items as an original Magna Carta, a Shakespeare First Folio, illuminated Chaucer manuscripts, antique maps, of course manuscripts by JOHN KEATS (!), and many other riches."- Prof Kucich
