Wouldn’t this be a wonderful place to spend the weekend?
This is the outside of The Museum for Objects of Vertu. Inside is a tiny, dark room, in corsetry and textiles artist Fleur Oakes’s studio, where she holds the tiniest exhibitions. It’s in deepest suburban north London, in the grounds of an amazing rambling old house, that contains many artists’ studios in many strange small buildings around the grounds. Last time I went there I felt I’d been invited to a private party held a hundred years ago. There’s an exhibition on this weekend (and by appointment until 27th July) and so if you like ramshackle gardens, ancient haberdashery, cups of tea and tiny handcrafted miraculous works of art you should go.
It’s open Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July from 12noon – 6pm, at 89 Park Road, New Barnet (take the Piccadilly line to Cockfosters – it’s always worth a journey to the end of the line…)
