Well, I finished out my time at the Museum today! I met with two curators and had a marvelous and lengthy cup of tea with the grad student research assistant, with whom I had a lovely chat last week as well. What are the odds that I would hit it off with the other grad student kicking around there? But we really did get on well.
My final interviews/meetings were excellent. I did some last documentation of the gallery and finally made myself leave when I realized I was just rephotographing things I had already done multiple times before. So I guess I can say I'm done with the research portion of the trip. It seemed massive, and I have a massive amount of information to process. But I think I've gathered all the research I'm gonna gather. I could easily put together a substantial additional trip; I hope at some point I'll get the opportunity to do that.
What will I do with myself, you might wonder. Tonight: forage food, assess what size additional bag I'll need to get everything home, and probably go on a short walk (the nearest tube stop was closed today, adding an extra mile and a half or so to the already extensive daily walking routine). Tomorrow: A museum or two, some shopping, packing, and early to bed.
Home soon! Yay!
Double yay!
