			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/07/27/banksy-in-bristol-exhibition-be-warned/" target="_blank">Evidemment, il faudra etre prepare</a>:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-812" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/B12.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="200" /></p>
<p>Arrivee un samedi, jour de beau temps, bien en avance (9 heures pour une ouverture a 10 heures), je trouve la rue principale pleine aux 3/4. A 09h30, les deux trottoirs de la rue arriere seront bondes. Nous n&#8217;entrerons qu&#8217;a 11 heures.</p>
<p>L&#8217;expo en vaut largement la peine. 70 oeuvres, des anciennes, des nouvelles. Un  regal a voir de pres. On sourit, on rit, on s&#8217;arrete, on reflechit, on admire, on applaudit. Rien n&#8217;est destine a etre beau, mais a interpeler, a decaler une realite pour mieux l&#8217;apprecier.</p>
<p>4 etapes en vue:</p>
<p><strong>Salle 1: </strong> le celebre camion du marchand de glace, version destroy&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-814" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/B23.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="435" /></p>
<p>&#8230; et les statues revisitees&#8230; Les details sont savoureux!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-815" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b3.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="470" /></p>
<p><strong>Salle 2:</strong> l&#8217;atelier de Banksy avec ses pochoirs, les details de son univers&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-820" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b8.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="422" /></p>
<p>ainsi qu&#8217;une gallerie de portraits&#8230;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-818" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b6.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="183" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-817" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b5.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="130" /><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Salle 3: </strong>la plus etrange. Une sorte de zoo futuriste decrivant la societe d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui, notre facon de consommer, notre lethargie egalement.  On reste etrangement fascine devant le nid de CCTVs, les nuggets se restaurant. Et comment ne pas sourire devant le lapin se ponponant?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-825" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b13.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></p>
<p><strong>Derniere etape: </strong>le reste du musee, qui ma foi, est tres bien fait. Beaucoup d&#8217;interaction pour les plus jeunes, une gallerie egyptienne fascinante, une gallerie d&#8217;animaux bien plus belle que celle du Horniman Museum&#8230; Mais surtout, entre des tres serieuses, vous retrouverez du Banksy, encadre a l&#8217;ancienne&#8230; A tel point que vous contemplerez longuement certaines oeuvres tres classiques en vous demandant pourtant s&#8217;il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;une vraie ou pas.  Le musee a pense a vous sauver en indiquant celle de Banksy d&#8217;un signe &#8220;Local Artist&#8221;. Ouf.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-821" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b9.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="433" /></p>
<p>La plus interessante est certainement cette ville miniature, si reposante a la vue&#8230; En vos approchant, vous realiserez qu&#8217;elle est remplie de soldats en plastique&#8230;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-827" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/15.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="200" /></p>
<p>Verdict? De facon assez suprenante, 1-1.<br />
Banksy est evidemment idolatre par ses fans. Vous aurez l&#8217;impression de rentrer totalement dans son univers, une fete foraine toxique et drole a la fois.<br />
Le musee fait egalement ses preuves, j&#8217;y retournerai avec plaisir, plus calmement. Et pourtant, nous y avons deja passe 2h30. Pas etonnant que la file s&#8217;allonge au dehors&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Note aux parents:</strong> les petits ne comprendront pas toutes les subtilites mais la plupart des oeuvres sont faciles a expliquer. Pensez a les emmener au premier etage voir la partie dinosaures, ou vous trouverez egalement quantite de livres pour enfants.  Le musee proposera a partie du 06 septembre une exposition pour les 2 a 11 ans, <em>Hands on&#8230; Toy time! </em>ou ils pourront creer leur propre jouet.</p>
<p><strong>Psssst: </strong>gardez l&#8217;oeil ouvert pour la collaboration Hirst / Banksy!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-824" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b12.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="244" /></p>
<p><strong>Psssst (2):</strong> passez donc prendre un milkshake de l&#8217;autre cote de la rue, a <a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/08/15/eat-the-best-burger-in-town-rocatillo/" target="_blank">Rocatillos</a>&#8230; ou montez voir le <a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/08/06/see-the-clouds-through-the-clifton-suspension-bridge/" target="_blank">Clifton Suspension bridge</a>!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em><a href="http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/leisure-and-culture/museums-and-galleries/" target="_blank">Bristol City Museum &#38; Art Gallery</a><br />
Queens Road<br />
West End<br />
Bristol<br />
BS8 1RL<br />
</em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Gratuit! Free!</em></span><br />
</span> <em><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://visitbristol.co.uk/xsdbimgs/Bristol_Trail_final_2.pdf" target="_blank">Jetez un coup d&#8217;oeil aux promenades a travers la ville!<br />
Check out the walks through the city!</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Of course, <a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/07/27/banksy-in-bristol-exhibition-be-warned/" target="_blank">you&#8217;ll have to be prepared for the wait, expecially if you&#8217;re coming at the week-end</a>&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">We came back on another sunny Saturday. Well in advance: 09.00 when the museum wa sonly opening at 10.oo. The street was already 3/4 full. At 09.30, bothe sideways in the street behing were also crowded. We only stepped inside at 11.00&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Thankfully,  the show is so very worth it. 70 works, some new, some revisited, some already seen. But how lucky to see them close!Of course, the beauty does not count, they are meant to stop you, make you smile laugh, think, bring an edge to your reality&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">4 areas ahead:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Room 1:</strong> the very famous melted ice-cream van (though with still a touch of poetry with the flowers growing through)&#8230; and the revisited statues. You can spend half an hour savouring the details&#8230;</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-816" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="463" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Room 2:</strong> Banksy&#8217;s workshop, with his stencils and details of his world as well as gallery of portraits&#8230;</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-819" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b7.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="452" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Room 3:</strong> the weirdest. A fururistic zoo painting today&#8217;s consumerism and society. Our lethargy too. You will be strangely mesmerized by the CCTV nest, the nuggets feeding on grain, the hotdog in a cage drinking mustard&#8230; How not to smile in front of the white rabbit getting dressed to go out, make-up, jewels and all? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-826" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b14.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Last phase:</strong> the rest of the museum is very well done indeed. A lot of inteaction with little ones through computers, a fab Egyptian gallery, a stuffed animal room much better than the Horniman Museum&#8217;s&#8230; And even  better, amidst serious paintings and collections, even more Banksy scattered here and there, framed in an old-fashion style. And you will sometines, watch a serious work of art wondering whether it could be a fake&#8230;? This has been thought of and Banksy&#8217;s will be indicated by a &#8220;local artist&#8221; sign. The best probably is the model city. So peaceful to watch. only if you work closely will you noticed it is filled with toy soldiers&#8230;</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-823" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b11.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="438" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Verdict? 1-1.<br />
Banksy is clearly adored by his fans. The exhibition is like entering his funfairland. Intoxicatingly funny.<br />
The museum is pretty convincing too, I would love to go back and enjoy it more quietly. We spent 2 hours and a half inside, no wonder the queues get so large in the street!</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-822" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/b10.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="329" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Note to parents:</strong> Little ones will not understand the subtleties but most paintings are easy to explain.  Do take them to see the dinosaurs on the first floor. you&#8217;ll find a good range of children book as well around that corner. The museum will offer a new exhibition from September 06th on, where children can create their own toy. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Psssst:</strong> Keep an eye open for the Hirst/Banksy teamwork!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Psssst (2):</strong> Why not have a milkshake on the other side of the street @ <a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/08/15/eat-the-best-burger-in-town-rocatillo/" target="_blank">Rocatillos</a>? Or go and cross the <a href="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/2009/08/06/see-the-clouds-through-the-clifton-suspension-bridge/" target="_blank">Clifton Suspension Bridge</a>?</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Le symbole principal de Bristol.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est un marchand de vin qui est a l&#8217;origine de ce pont. En 1754, Vick Williams laisse dans son testament £1000 a placer. Lorsque l&#8217;investissement atteindrait, £10,000 l&#8217;argent devait servir a la construction d&#8217;un point en pierre traversant la gorge Avon.</p>
<p>30 ans plus tard, la somme restait loin s&#8217;etre suffisante. Il fut decide de construire un pont en suspension en acier pour reduire les frais. Le passage en serait payant pour rembourser les couts supplentaire. Une competition est lancee et remportee par le celebre Brunel. Les tours sont legerement egyptiennes &#8211; tres a la mode a cette epoque. Des sphynx etaient prevus au sommet mais ne furent finalement pas installes. Brunel mourra prematurement et ne verra jamais la construction terminee.</p>
<p>La structure reste impressionante. Pietons et cycliste peuvent passer librement, les voiture continuent de payer une toute petite somme, 50 pence de peage.</p>
<p>Essayez d&#8217;imaginer le pont a l&#8217;epoque, carrioles tirees par des chevaux, gentlemen en costumes, traverseee tout en bois. L&#8217;asphalte n&#8217;apparaitra qu&#8217;en 1857: le bois resistait fort bien aux intemperies&#8230; nettement moins aux decharges des chevaux!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/pont1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="469" /></span></p>
<p>Regardez bien la premiere tour, Leigh Woods, du cote de Clifton village. Figurez-vous que la structure en dessous est creuse: deux niveaux de galleries constituees de 12 immenses pieces! Ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;en&#8230; 2002 que ce detail a ete decouvert. Celles-ci etaient reliees par un tunnel just&#8217;assez grand pour qu&#8217;un homme puisse y ramper puis scellees une fois le pont termine si bien qu&#8217;on n&#8217;y croise aucun animal ou meme le moindre insecte, juste&#8230;. des stalactites de 5 metre de haut.</p>
<p>Les enfants adorent ce pont &#8211; un chemin securise de chaque cote permet de le traverser sans inquietude. Vous verrez d&#8217;ailleurs fort loin. D&#8217;un cote vers la mer, de l&#8217;autre vers les docks de Bristol.</p>
<p>Peut-etre meme aurez-vous la chance d&#8217;apercevoir un train passer sur la voie ferree a droite de la gorge!</p>
<p>Le centre d&#8217;information situe de l&#8217;autre cote du pont presente une petite exposition, un pont miniature interctif et quelques jeux pour les enfants.</p>
<p>Le Clifton village a quelques rues du pont regorge de cafes, restaurant et magasins trendy: faites y un tour!</p>
<p><a href="http://" target="_blank"><em>Clifton Suspension Bridge</em></a></p>
<p><em>Clifton village</em></p>
<p><em>Bristol, BS8 3PA</em></p>
<p><em>Gratuit pour les pietons et les cyclistes / Free for pedestrians and cyclists</em></p>
<p><em>50p pour les voitures / 50p for cars</em></p>

<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The symbol of Bristol.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Did you know a wine merchant actually started this idea in 1754? Vick Williams left £1000 in his will which were to be invested then used to build a bridge across the Avon Gorge.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">30 years later however, the money still isn&#8217;t enough and probably will never be. It is decided to create a steel one instead to keep the prices down. There would be a toll to cross it to make up for any investment the government would have to add. A competition is launched and the famous Brunel wins it. The towers are influenced by the Egyptian style in fashion at the time. The architect also wanted sphinxes on top but this proved too expensive. The poor guy will die prematurely and will never see his project finished.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-702" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/br1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The structure remains impressive. Pedestrians and cyclist can cross it for free, cars still have to pay a symbolic 50p.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Try to imagine it at the time &#8211; gentlemen in costume, horse-driven carriages&#8230; wooden floor! Asphalt was only added in 1857. The word resisted well to the weather but&#8230;less to the regular horses discharge&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Look at the first tower, Leighton Woods, on the Clifton side. The structure below is hollow: two levels of galleries made of 12 chambers! This detail was only discovered in&#8230;2002. Those are linked by a narrow tunnel, one has to crawl through. It seems everything was sealed when the bridge was finished so no animal, no plant, not even a spider could be found inside. Just&#8230; 5m high stalactites&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Children love this bridge. A walkway on each side allows you to cross it safely and enjoy two different views: one side towards the sea, the other towards Bristol city docks. And oh, boy, one can see really far.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-703" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vue.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="610" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">If you&#8217;re lucky, you might see a trai<span style="color: #800080;">n </span></span><span style="color: #800080;">on the railway on the right side of the gorge.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The visitor centre on the other side shows a small exhibition, an interactive miniature suspension bridge and a few games for the kids.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The Clifton village is only a few streets from the bridge &#8211; you&#8217;ll find plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops, worth the walk!</span></p>

<p>Vous vous attendez, bien sur, a de l&#8217;attente, une heure, une heure et demie?</p>
<p>Moi aussi. Apres deux heures de route, je suis arrivee un samedi matin a 11h00. Le musee ouvre a 10 heures. Comment vous dire&#8230;?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-569" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/B1.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="107" /></p>
<p>3 rues de queue. L&#8217;attente?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-570" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="384" /></p>
<p>Les chanceux qui allaient rentrer etaient la depuis 09h30. J&#8217;ose imaginer qu&#8217;un jour de semaine, la file est moindre&#8230;</p>
<p>Cela dit, certains ont exploite le filon!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-575" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b7.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></p>
<p>Si vous devez abandonner, ne desesperez pas&#8230; Vous croiserez peut-etre par hasard du Banksy au coin des rues&#8230;</p>
<p>- Au coin de High Kigsdown et St Michael&#8217;s Hill &#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-573" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b5.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="263" /></p>
<p>- Sur Upper Maudlin St, sur votre droite just&#8217;avant d&#8217;arriver au Royal Hospital for Children&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-574" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b6.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="593" /></p>
<p>-A l&#8217;arriere du pub <em>The Scotchman</em> au croisement de Michael&#8217;s Hill et Horfield Rd. Prenez Horfield Rd et jetez un coup d&#8217;oeil dans l&#8217;encart des portes&#8230;<a href="http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/content/Leisure-Culture/Museums-Galleries/bristols-city-museum---art-gallery.en;jsessionid=103824F421CEEA8F8826924DA104D056.tcwwwaplaws1" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-571" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b3.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="664" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/content/Leisure-Culture/Museums-Galleries/bristols-city-museum---art-gallery.en;jsessionid=103824F421CEEA8F8826924DA104D056.tcwwwaplaws1" target="_blank"> <em>Bristol City Museum</em></a><em><br />
Queen&#8217;s Road<br />
Bristol<br />
BS8 1RL</em><em><br />
Jusqu&#8217;au 31 aout 2009 / Until August 31, 2009<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Gratuit! Free!</span><a href="www.banksy.co.uk" target="_blank"><br />
Banksy&#8217;s website</a></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">You&#8217;re a Banksy fan? Are planning to see this show no matter what?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> So am I.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> You know there&#8217;ll be some waiting, of cours, an hour, maybe an hour and a half.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> Think again. I arrived at 11.00 on a Saturday and the museum had only been open for an hour. And the queue, well&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> &#8230;started 3 streets from there. As for the waiting time? 3 hours 30!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> The lucky ones, about to get in, had arrived at 09.30. I can only hope it gets better on a week day&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-572" src="http://teatimeinwonderland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="287" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> Although some people really made the most of this opportunity!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"> If you have to give up, don&#8217;t despair&#8230; you may still come accross some Banksy in the streets. Look for:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">- the corner of High Kingsdown and St Michael&#8217;s Hill rd,</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">- Upper Maudlin St, on your right, just before getting to the Royal Hospital for Children,</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">- <em>The Scotchman</em> pub, at the corner of St Michael Hill and Horfield Rd. Step up Horfield rd and look whith the doors at the back.</span></p>
