London’s season of culture starts now, and it’s all on sale

This massive and immersive exhibit, on view through February 26, focusing on the culture and politics of the mid- to late-1960’s, will be the highlight of the London museum season. The objects, video installations, and displays will fascinate anyone who lived through the period (or had parents who did), or anyone really who wants to understand how the political and cultural revolutions of the period have changed the way we live today, and think about the future. Cool feature: the gift shop is selling new issues of vinyl albums and 45 RPM records from the era, and the Sennheiser earphones provided automatically switch between exhibits, explaining what you’re looking at and providing audio to the films, videos, and other media from the era. I found myself lost in reverie for several hours and wish I had more time here.
