Nov. Seehttp://measure.org.uk/measurenews.htmlfor details on how to
book. Apparently there will be some coloured string to look at as well.

Do they want money for that? (says me, who just booked two tickets)

I went to one of those "art" exhibitions in the tunnels about 7 years ago.
Was very interesting. The tunnels that is. The art was the usual standard
issue pile of talentless garbage with self justifying pretentious BS written
on cards nearby trying to "explain" the pieces that you'd expect from
undergraduate art students (ie students who are too thick to do a degree that
actually involves thinking or learning anything).

We wandered into the historic Bargate in Southampton earlier this year
"just to see the place" without realising that it was only open for one
of these art exhibitions which was much as you describe it.......only
worse! :-))
