Went to the truly fabulous Grayson Perry exhibition at the British Museum. It's called "The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman" and pays homage to all the unsung geniuses whose work was never attributed or signed. He chose these pieces, some 150 or so from the BM's archive and put them side by side with his own. Perry's extraordinary ceramic pots, iron sculptures and tapestries are of such high quality and subversion they make you gasp in admiration. It's also amazing to see what qualities these artifacts share. Be they Tibetan, Chinese, Viking, Aztec or Spanish, 2000BC or completely contemporary, a striking sense of devotion, line, attitude and sometimes all-out humour shines through them all.

The British Museum itself is a thing of beauty of course, and this new circular exhibition space and the astonishing ceiling that attaches it to the original classical building simply takes my breath away.
