Henry VIII

Today a new History Today arrived at our library. I discovered a very tempting article/invitation for  a "celebration of 500th anniversary of Henry VIII´s accession to the English throne". Ha! It will be held in Hampton Court. The Palace undertook a lot of changes for the sake of it - opening new rooms, new designs in the garden, lots of items on display, lots of popular or academic seminars, original music AND what I would like to experience very much, a chance for the visitors to wear Tudor gowns and be involved in the imitation of the court life. And the exhibition about Henry´s wives, actors imitating the king and the court etc. I have the magazine open here to use the expressions. All begins in April 10th . 
Oh yes, I would like to take par! I was in Hampton Court in 1996 - -it was my first visit to Britain in my life!
Of course, we went to the Maze there - got inspired by reading Jerome.K.Jerome´s Three Men in the Boat, laughed ourselves silly and promptly got lost -  with my students and my colleagues. Since this trip, my holidays destination was almost only Britain! :-)
