MrBook I love this! 7y
Oryx Very cool. Did you see the poppies at the Ulster museum? Hoping to go see them sometime, but I'll also need to go see this now too! 😀 7y
Libby1 I didn‘t get to see much of it, @MrBook ! I had an impatient 7 year-old to attend to. My husband enjoyed it, though. 😃 7y
Libby1 @Oryx - yes, I did see the poppies. I also saw them at the Tower of London when they were there. There are a lot of events in coming months looking at conflict and the legacy of conflict. I hope to attend some of them. 7y

Another literary exhibition I saw today at the #UlsterMuseum in #Belfast in #NorthernIreland was the Game of Thrones Tapestry. Northern Ireland has a strong history of linen production, and many of the scenes from the television series are filmed here.

Come to Northern Ireland to see them! If you do, let me know and we can plan an NI Litsy Meet-up!

#GameOfThronesTapestry

Oryx My grandmother worked in Gilford linen Mill. It was still running in the 80s, I remember visiting her at work. It's pretty much a ruin now, but impressive building in its day. Hoping they fix it up sometime for a new purpose. Like the look of this exhibit a lot. 7y
LeahBergen How cool. 7y
kspenmoll Wonderful! Love old tapestries, needlework. 7y

Libby1 @Oryx - I live a few miles from Gilford! 😃 7y
Libby1 @kspenmoll and @LeahBergen - this is a new tapestry. As the most recent GOT series was running they were completing a new section following the story line each week! So clever and creative. 7y
kspenmoll Of course it has to be new”game of thrones”... how did i miss that? It did register but...😜 7y
JazzFeathers I don'd watch the series, but this is beautiful 😍 7y
Libby1 @JazzFeathers - I don‘t either! 😃 7y

Today at the interactive art exhibition at the #UlsterMuseum about the use of the colour red in art and nature we read The Day the Crayons Quit (illustrated by a Northern Irish artist!) at the book display section.

This is a children‘s book about what happens when crayons revolt. Orange and Yellow bicker over the true colour of the sun. White feels very under-utilised and unappreciated.

My son was trying to be a little bit too artistic here.

LeahBergen 😂😂 7y
kspenmoll ❤️😂😂 7y
Libby1 @LeahBergen and @kspenmoll - I have no IDEA what he was trying to do here! I don‘t usually share pictures of my kid but this one was too odd and funny. 7y

Red Is Best | Kathy Stinson
post image

This afternoon my family and I visited the #UlsterMuseum in #Belfast in #NorthernIreland . There were a number of amazing exhibitions, some of which were related to books.

This was from a children‘s exhibit about the colour red in art and in nature. At these exhibits there is always a group of books available to peruse related to the main topic.

It was beautiful, and the books were well and truly thumbed through.

[DELETED] 3803335244 Red is best is such a great children's book! ❤️❤️ 7y
