the inscription says: THE DAMAGE TO THESE WALLS IS THE RESULT OF ENEMY BOMBING DURING THE BLITZ OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945 AND IS LEFT AS A MEMORIAL TO THE ENDURING VALUES OF THIS GREAT MUSEUM IN A TIME OF CONFLICT.so you are walking down the block and you think :oh look at the chip missing. but then you keep looking and there are holes from small chips to massive chunks taken out of every part of the outer wall. it really is an amazing sight. many people never learn why the building is damaged because the memorial is simple and completely understated. i was looking at some of the damage and a pair of boys walked by saying "man look at this building. why don't they fix it"
this museum is great. i only walked the first floor so far but soon i'll see more.

in my future home i'm not going to fix any holes in the walls for the same reason: a memorial to my children who made them. this is pretty much the same reason why i don't clean my bathroom as well.
good to hear you are alive and well! Keep your posts coming
hahaha! oh man, your bathroom is like a homage to nasty. have you cleaned that thing since you've moved in? ha ha ha
i prefer to call my toilet a memorial to nasty. except now that i've cleaned it, it's a memorial to nasties yet unfulfilled.
but this is your blog, why are we talking about my toilet.
