00:00I do love art. I'm an art gallery guy. I've made Leeds art galleries, had some really good exhibitions over the years.

00:07I think maybe Eureka as well in Halifax, that's obviously in Yorkshire, so I think Eureka, maybe that's one of them.

00:14Obviously when I was a bit younger. And then I think the Media Museum as well, that was really influential when I was a kid,

00:19sort of learning about media, things like that.

00:22The best museum you lead is like, you know, I told you, right? It's like Royal Army Museum because it's near the dark.

00:30People can go there and enjoy the sunshine if the weather is good. Also, I say this museum will close some activities.

00:37I'm not sure it's like every Wednesday, but they have some activities to attract visitors.

00:43There's not really a lot that kind of draws me to museums, unless you're in school, you go for a school trip, something like that.

00:49You know, if you go to a museum and you're kind of just walking around reading things, it might, for a kid at least, it gets a little bit boring.

00:55Whereas I think this is a bit of interactivity, you know, something that you can almost mess with a little bit.
