Culture Vultures

In the morning we went to an exhibition on tattoos. It also threw in some alarming body piercings for good measure. In the afternoon we took in an exhibition on 25 typical Bruxellois. It included a profile of a Madam Pipi. I feel this is not a profession which is well known in the anglophone world. We were led to this by the admirable Thierry who is my source of information on all that is going on in the Belgian capital.  Finally, we went to an exhibition of pre-colombian art which was sponsored by my bank and we got in free. I think that this was the first time I got something for nothing from my bank, so let’s celebrate that. The exhibition featured quite a number of large stone phalluses and I couldn’t help feeling the mother and teenage son team making their way round weren’t having a great time with these.
