Hi everybody welcome to Disrupt Travel my name is Joe and on this channel I intend to inspire and form and amuse my co-video content about travel and stuff happening around London and in this video I'm checking out a William Blake exhibition at Take Britain right here it's only on until February 2020 this little video is gonna give you a bit for overview what to expect to see Carson but you see how to make the most of your trip here. The Take Britain not to be confused with the tea modern is located in Millbank by the Thames the nearest troop is Pymlaco but also is a short walk from Victoria train station and if you want to get really fancy you can also catch a ferry to the Millbank Millennium Pier. Take Britain is opened every day from 10am to 6pm. A few details about William Blake he was born in the 1700s and he picked up his artistic flavor from a really really young age from 10 years old but much grew up to be a love long artist and by Tom you reach his adulthood he's contemporary he's thought he was a little bit crazy very very different from everybody else but that's what made him quite unique which leads me on to why I really want to check out his works. Why love about his work is that it's got this airy surreal kind of like a fantastical way about it. This exhibition is gonna be quite special because really he's there's gonna be so much of his work all come together in one place I think there's like over a couple of hundred pieces of work and they're usually separated into separate museums exhibitions all around and pretty much packed away because his works are quite delicate and I also have arts funds and cards so it gives me a small discount if you don't know about the arts funds card you should definitely check out link is in the description and it gives you free entry to art museums exhibition discounts to exhibitions and it's just a really good card to have really good value for money if you visit a few places in a year plus you're supporting art which it's always a good thing anyway enough chitchat let's go check out that place the Teet Britain some of the more famous creations from William Blake is his illuminated books a mix of illustrations and text he was heavily influenced by medieval books right so just about half a fruit exhibition and it's really really quite good there's five rooms in total and away it's organized that it starts from the beginning and to his end of his life so it's like the chronological order and you can see how his art chains over time there's so many pieces of his art here it's fantastic like I'm really loving his style and I didn't I'm learning a few things from that true audio guide and for our exhibition you start to understand key moments in his life it was also really insightful into social political climate of his time I got a real sense of how he saw the world with his very dark and moody style I think he would have been a great comic book artist his illustrations has a uniquely unsettling style per this way he wouldn't see Mr Blake painting delicate florals and calming landscapes and I probably wouldn't recommend buying your granny prints from him right and that is the end of my William Blake exhibition visits it's been absolutely amazing I learned so many things about Mr Blake he's an exceptional character I mean he really really struggled with his first well his first exhibition and he basically retreated from public view it's real shame because the guy was so talented clearly he had a real sense of integrity was an absolute rebel set aside at least one hour to do the tour I spend just over two hours it's coming up to six o'clock now they're about to kick everybody out including myself I definitely have a great appreciation of William Blake he is amazing like his history what he managed to create and this is real shame they never completed all of his art in his last 10 years his created some of his famous works you should definitely come and check this place out it's going until the fourth February so that last week before then would be absolutely crazy busy I reckon everybody will see me seeing this exhibition so come as early as you can in January and if you've seen this off the exhibition closes you should check out some of the different William Blake places around London and hopefully they can show some of the pictures I really quickly like that video definitely let me know in the comments what you think about Mr Blake is an awesome character this video is just a quick test on my S10 as well so it wasn't really supposed to be a full video but I thought making a full video really hope you like it let me know in the comments which part of the William Blake little guy was useful to you wish you to feel thank you I'm just closing my video I've been told to go apparently so yeah make sure you check out this exhibition before it closes it's going to be absolutely amazing make sure you hit the subscribe button to see future videos I see you later what can this work what can this work really everybody walk into this world travel my name's Joe
