Abinoam’s Bar & Gallery

Some time in the spring of 2013, I was running a Victorian bar and gallery in the Titus Groan gay steampunk sim.

While it was open, it hosted an exhibition on Walt Whitman and an accompanying photo competition – the winner of which was Gustav von Rosenheim’s entry. I remember how much fun I had preparing the images and notecards with explanations.

As I couldn’t commit much time to the place, I closed it some time in the summer of 2013. Not many images survive.

Throwback Thursday: Abinoam’s Bar & Gallery

About this time last year, I was running a Victorian bar and gallery in the Titus Groan gay steampunk sim.

Victorian Architecture

Today I spent some time at New Babbage Academy of Industry, which hosts an interesting exhibition – Introduction to Victorian Architecture.

It consists of two parts, the Context and the Styles. Commentaries accompanying the images are not very detailed, but are still quite informative, providing a very general and brief overview of the architecture of that period.
