Aya Grand Inquisitor Posts : 7277 Joined: 16 OCT 2002 Status : Offline	Visited the Sherlock Holmes museum in London last Saturday and I LOVED it!! Pics from my visit: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=420441193&albumId=1085350 If you're a fan of Sherlock, and esp if you like the Frogwares advs, you must put a visit in your "to do asap" list You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

[smiley=detective.gif] I've enjoyed visiting many of the museums in London, but this is one I missed. I'll add it to my list for next time.

Andromus Guild Master Posts : 5540 Joined: 6 NOV 2002 Status : Offline	I remember a Sherlock Holmes movie set in modern day London (where Holmes gets revived from a cryogenic state) that shows 221B Baker Street turned into a McDonald's! Glad to see that in reality it's nothing like that. Very cool museum. The Sherlock Holmes stories are among my all time favorites. Something I'll have to make sure I check out when I make that trip to England I've always dreamed of.

When I visit it I'll pop in for a cup of tea with Sherlock. Elementary, dear Taurnil, Elementary!! ....set the controls for the heart of the sun....

Another non-traditional favorite was The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, a 1976 film by Herbert Ross starring Nicol Williamson as a cocaine-addicted Holmes, along with Robert Duvall as Watson, Laurence Olivier as Moriarty, and Alan Arkin as Sigmund Freud. It also featured Vanessa Redgrave, Samantha Eggar, and Joel Grey. Cheers, Terry

Inie Journeyman Posts : 856 Joined: 27 OCT 2002 Status : Online	Wow, thanks for the picture update! It's been a while since I've last been there (15 years or so) but it was great. And it even looks better now. Is there still a limitation to the amount of people that can visit the museum simultaneously? I remember Baker Street as one of the draughtiest places of London ... It was quite busy then. A few years ago I visited the Sherlock museum in Meiringen (Switzerland). Of course after climbing up THE waterfall ... (amazing and nauseating at the same time, it really is very very high). That museum was a bit dissapointing but the statue with all the riddles on it outside is really cool. But I must warn you! You can get a bit distracted by all the meringues they're trying to sell you there.
