Look at the statement, it is about London.

“ When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

Dr. Samuel Johnson

Do you agree with him or not? Why?

Yes, it’s really so because there are so many places to go.Look at the blackboard, you can see there some pictures and phrases. What are we going to speak about today?

- London’s museums and galleries.

-What museums and galleries in London do you know?

• The British Museum, the Tate Gallery, the Museum of London...

Yes, you are quite right, but in the city there are many other museums and today we’ll speak about them.

Before doing it let’s remember words and expressions about art and museums.

Translate from English into Russian and from Russian into English.(лексика по теме)

2. I think, it’s quite time to get acquainted with the museums and galleries of London. While speaking you must fill in the table using the information about the date of foundation, the main exhibits. At the end of the lesson it will be a contest. The

winner will get a gift. Clear? Let’s start.

London consists of different districts. Let’s have a look at Bloomsbury. Here we can find the British Museum.

• It was founded in 1753 on the collection of Sir Hans Sloane. The money to house them was raised by public lottery. Now it has two departments: the Museum of Mankind and the National History Museum. The Museum of Mankind includes a vast collection of antiquities, marbles from the Parthenon, the Rosetta Stone that provides the key to Egyptian hieroglyphics, ancient works

- 4 -

of art in stone, bronze and gold, the collection illustrating Western Asiatic civilizations. The Natural History Museum contains 5 principal collections on the history of plants, minerals, the animal kingdom. New permanent exhibitions have been opened in the museum.

In every museum there are different signs with rules how to behave yourselves. I’ll give you a minute, remember them and write the signs ( refreshments; museum shop; put empty cans here; restrooms; no food or beverages allowed on the exhibition floor; information; thank you for recycling your cans in the blue recycling containers; no smoking; facility for the disabled; checkroom; telephone; escalator ).

3. In Westminster we can find the Tate Gallery which contains a unique collection of British painting from the 16^th centuries

till present days. Let’s listen to the girls.

- Hello, it’s a programme “ National View”. We’ll speak

about the Tate Gallery” today.

- When and by whom was the Gallery founded?

- It was founded by a sugar manufacturer Henry Tate in 1897

as a private collection. Later it was presented as a gift to

the country. Now there are more than 300 oil and 19000

water colours and drawings.

- When were they painted?

- There are a lot of paintings of the 16^th century by English

painters. Also, you can see many paintings by foreign artists of the 19^th century.

• Whose paintings are exhibited here?

- 5 -

• Here you can see the works of William Turner, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moor, Joshua Reynolds, William Hogarth, paintings by impressionists, post-impressionists and others. Our guide will speak about them.

- Our Gallery exhibits many outstanding works of famous

English and foreign artists. Here you can see the sculptures

of Henry Moor, whose collection is rather big. Besides you

can see the works of a famous English painter William

Turner. His pictures are connected with sea. One hall of the Gallery is devoted to the masterpieces of Sir Joshua Reynolds. He was one of the outstanding British portraitists.

The most famous of his paintings are: “ Self – portrait “,

“ The Portrait of Nelly O’Brien”, “ The Portrait of Samuel

Johnson” and others.

In the William Hogarth’s hall there are many group port-raits. For example: “ The Graham Children”, “ The Marria- ge – a – la- Mode” and others. The paintings of this Gallery empress everybody who visits it.

• The Tate Gallery ranks with such famous sights of London as Westminster Abbey, The Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square. It is situated in Millbank and opened from 10 a.m. till 18 p.m. every day except Sunday.

Thank you very much, girls. Now my question to the students: Who are the famous artists whose pictures we can see in the Gallery?

- 6 -

4. The next museum that we’ll go is the Museum of Madame Tussaud’s which is situated in Marylebone. Who knows what kind of museum is it?

• It’s a wax museum.

• Yes, you are quite right but let’s listen to the information

about this museum.

• Situated near the Baker Street tube station, this attraction is one of the most popular that London has to offer. Madame Tussaud first arrived in the capital in 1802 bearing the sculptured heads of executed French aristocrats and ever since “her” wax models have been pulling in the crowds. The exhibition is split into several

sections in which visitors can see replicas of the famous and the infamous from both past and present. Models include politicians like Margaret Thatcher, Roosevelt, pop stars like the Beatles, and royalty like Prince Charles and Lady Di, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton and others.

There is usually a long queue in front of the museum. Many tourists would consider their trip to London worthless if they didn’t visit the famous museum. There are several halls in the museum. Highlights include the Grand Hall, the Chamber of Horrors and “ The Spirit of London” exhibition.

-The wax figures are standing and sitting, and sometimes even moving and talking. They are extremely realistic and

when they look at you, their eyes sparkling, you often feel

uncomfortable in their company. Computer controlled figures are especially popular with the visitors.

New models are being produced all the time while the old ones are quietly removed from the display.

- 7 -

Here you can see the figures of two famous women. We are sure that you know who they are. Yes, you are quite

right, they are Victoria Beckham and Marilyn Monroe. You can come to them, ask different questions and ask for a sign. These models can move and speak.

Welcome to our museum every day except Sunday.

The tickets:

Grown-ups- 15 pounds

Children from 5 till 15- 10 pounds

Little children- free

• Now a question to the students: The figures of what Russian famous people can we see in the Museum?

5. The Museum of Design, I am sure that not all of you know about this museum. It is situated in Docklands and contains a collection of 20^th century mass-produced consumer objects. Let’s listen to the girls who are ready with this information.

• Hello, friends, we are going to tell you about one of the

most interesting museums of London. It’s the first museum in the world to examine the role of design in our

everyday life. Changing displays include furniture, cars,

graphics and ceramics. It contains a great variety of exhibits including the prototype of the 1992 Olympic gold

medal winning bicycle.

• In the Museum you can see the works of famous English

designers. One of such people is Terence Conran. He

introduced the idea of a good design style in homes with the Habitat Stores in the 1960s. In our museum you can have a look at the tables, chairs, carpets, curtains, cups,

- 8 -

pots and pans which are made in bright colors and fresh design. It looks modern but friendly at the same time. And it is also quite cheap.

Have a look at these pictures and photos of rooms and houses. How do you like their interior and design decision? The design of what room do you like best of all?

What do you think about the furniture in this bedroom?

The design of what room would you like to use in your house?

6. The Museum of Toy and Model was founded in the 50s of

the 19^th century. We can say that it is a museum of child –

hood. All children like toys and not only children but also

grown-ups are not against to have a look and to play toys.

- Yes, really, the museum tells the story of childhood

through things made for children. It contains the largest display of toy dolls, doll’s houses, and the children’s clothes, which go back to the 18^th century. Outstanding

among these clothes are two outfits of silk and a girl’s dress of Chinese silk, but the star exhibit is a complete wardrobe, worn by a child named Henrietta Byron in 1840.

• In this museum we can see favourite toys of famous Eng-

lish people. Lady Diana liked bears very much and here we can find a great collection of them. Look at our exhibi-

tion of toys. Do you like it? Of course, they are very nice

and everybody in the museum can buy any toy in a special gift shop that there is in the museum.

- 9 -

7. Dear guests, I’d like to invite you not to the shop but to the

Auction where you can buy a toy. Do you know what an auction is ? It’s a place where people go in order to buy

something for their collections. Every thing is a” lot “ that

has a starting price. People offer their own prices raising

their hands. Every step will cost ... Let’s start. We have a

hammer, it’s a unique one because it’s a sound hammer.

( we offer to buy 3 things )

8. Now let’s read a text about the Transport Museum.

The Museum of British Transport is in London. It tells the story of public transport in Britain. In 1829, an Irishman started

the first bus service in London. It was drawn by three horses and looked like a carriage. The first double-decker bus was built in 1851. In 1885, the first buses, driven by a petrol engine were used in London. The first passenger railway in England was the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. In 1829, the company offered a prize of 500 pounds for the best steam train. The prize was won by George Stephenson, with his famous train “ the Rocket “. In 1938 a train (“ Mallard”) was built. It travelled at 126 miles per hour, and that was world record speed for a steam train. Nowadays this train can be seen in the Museum of Transport.

9. Different people visit different museums and galleries. Listen to the dialogue and answer the questions.

Look at the words: art movement, cubist, dove, genius, perspectiveless, Van Gogh, Gauguin, shade.

10. Look at the blackboard! There you can see the names of

some other museums and galleries: the Imperial War Museum, the Museum of London, the National Maritime Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Theatre Museum.

Let’s write down the information about them in our table:

11. Dear friends, we have spoken about different museums,

galleries, artists. Let’s remember the most famous painters

of Great Britain, who are they?

-11-

- William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough,

John Constable, Joseph Mallord William Turner and others.

- Yes, you are quite right and I hope that you remember how we must describe a picture according to the plan. We did it during the lessons. What must we include into the description?

- 1. The general effect ( the title and the name of the artist; the

period or trend represented; how it appears: natural and

spontaneous or contrived and artificial? )

2. The contents of the picture ( place, time, setting, the acces-

sories, the dress and environment, emotions of the model.)

3. The composition and colouring ( How is the sitter repre-

sented? Against what background? Do the hands ( head,

body) look natural and informal? How do the eyes gaze?

Does the painter concentrate on the analysis of details?)

4. Interpretation and evaluation ( does it exemplify a high

degree of artistic skill? What feelings or ideas does it

evoke in the viewer?)

• Look at the picture and describe it but before doing it let’s

make up two teams. I’d like to see what team will be the

winner.

realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand”.
