The Garden Museum, London

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting Christopher Woodward, director of London's newly revamped Garden Museum and author of In Ruins: A Journey Through History, Art, and Literature.
Woodward took me and my wife on an after-hours tour of the museum's beautifully renovated space; housed in a 14th-century church just steps from the Thames, the museum has been energetically rebranded by Woodward and internally reorganized by Dow Jones Architects.
While a longer interview with Woodward – about ruins, jungles, guerilla gardens, and English landscape painting, among many other topics – is hopefully forthcoming here on BLDGBLOG, I've written up his evening tour of the Garden Museum's new space over at Dwell.
So check it out!

Geoff, It is properly "took my wife and me". Objective pronoun. I love this blog for both subject and style, so grammar policing, feels a bit snarky. But necessary.

Indeed - a slip. Thanks for pointing it out.
