TURNING THE PAGES

The home of the British Library in the UK, this site provides ordinary non-scholarly folk – like you and me – access to some of the most glorious ullustrated manuscripts of the past centuries. The latest masterpiece – The St. Cuthbert Gospel – the Gospel of St. John – the earliest known intact European book, dating from the 7th century. Fabulously well preserved, the pages look as though they were inked very recently – and not 1400 years ago!

BAD ART

Art so Bad it makes you want to cry. This is a virtual gallery of some of the most awful art that’s out there. Not scribbles, or the stuff that’s on sale at roadside hotels on Sundays – but real paint on real canvas that someone obviously thought was good…… Think again – and for a good laugh head over to the Museum of Bad Art. You’ll be glad you did!
