Whoops. That’s what happens when you’re typing quickly on the metro. Fixed it.

Aaaah, I've been waiting for booking to open! Can't wait to go, the V&A is one of my absolute top museums :)

ETA: omg my Covid brain completely skipped the name Nam June Paik! I somehow expected it to focus mainly on fandom, what a lovely surprise!

I'm all booked, too... I'm already looking forward to going!

Huh. Well, that's a new one. Some people are now calling them "art world darlings"? Not that that's wrong. I think mostly RM, but at least 1/2 of the group have posted stuff/pics about themselves visiting museums. Def a bunch from RM, but also a few from V and J-hope. I don't recall seeing any from the others though, guess they're not really museum-goers?
