The British Museum of Spare Parts – kind of like a spare parts shop for sculptors. All over the world, there a bits and pieces missing off sculptures that the poms have claimed as a spare part. Venus de Milo’s arms are here (she’s the porn star from the olden days), the eyes of Lady Justice are also here, as well as a room full of all the broken off penises. I bet you’ve always wondered what happened to all those statues that were missing the main bit…
Here are some spare torsos in the torso section of the museum. You can see some people drawing the statues – these are poor art students who can’t afford a camera.
