While my visit in London I visited a major new exhibition investigating the secrets of the Cheapside Hoard at the Museum of London.
The exhibition's programme: This extraordinary and priceless treasure of late 16th and early 17th century jewels and gemstones – displayed in its entirety for the first time in over a century – was discovered in 1912, buried in a cellar on Cheapside in the City of London. Through new research and state-of-the-art technology, the exhibition showcases the wealth of insights the Hoard offers on Elizabethan and Jacobean London – as a centre of craftsmanship and conspicuous consumption, at the crossroads of the Old and New Worlds. It also explores the mysteries that remain, lost among the cataclysmic events of the mid-17th century: who owned the Hoard, when and why was it hidden, and why was it never reclaimed? London Lost Jewels Exhibition was the only one exhibition I visited. I chose it because it was related to the project which is focused on accessories. I found this exhibition very interesting. I have seen there many different jewellery designs. Unfortunately, I could not take pictures on my camera so I have only a few images from my boyfriend's phone.

British Master Perfumer, Roja Dove, was commissioned by The Museum of London to reimagine the scent of Early Stuart London. It's a strong and heady fusion including geranium, rose, lavender and patchouli with clove, clary sage, and more. He described it as the scent of court and the scent of church combined to create the scent of power. There's a small door on the wall for you open and take a sniff.
