The British Museum has reopened with a very interesting exhibition about Tantra. If you are looking for insights into Sting and Tom Hanks’ favourite love practice you’ll be disappointed because this is more a showcase of the ancient philosophy behind the contemporary practical spin. This exhibition will be suitable also for secondary school students who are learning the history of philosophy. It is also about sex, just so you are aware before sending children to this show.

It was great to be able to go back to the Tate Modern this week. Last time I visited the gallery was for an exclusive preview of Andy Warhol‘s exhibition, back in March before lockdown started. The latest retrospective to run between 7 OCTOBER 2020 and 21 FEBRUARY 2021 is Bruce Nauman’s first major exhibition in London in more than 20 years. It allows visitors to engage with the artist’s universe through immersive installations with a strong emphasis on sound and moving image, as well as poetic sculptures and neon pieces.

Even during pandemic times, in London it is still possible to enjoy a meal in a beautiful surrounding at St. Katharine Docks. Central London’s only marina has recently hosted a unique on-the-water dining experience, pop-up restaurant Avalon. This was an exclusive temporary dining space adjacent to the main restaurant The Melusine, and it was my first meal out in Central London since the pandemic started. The Melusine provided myself and my guest with an abundance of fresh seafood from its Greek menu, which included scallops, octopus, taramosalata and various salads.
