British Museum 'Sufi Life & Art' free exhibition + pub social (LoMAZ Unlimited)

Join us for another LoMAZ Unlimited event, this time visiting the 'Sufi Life and Art' free exhibition at the British Museum.

Unlike our regular events (which often have waitlists), our Unlimited ones have no cap on numbers. They're a social for everyone, and a great way to see what we're about.

❓ How do our Unlimited events work?

• We meet in the museum cafe first.
• Then we look around 1-3 rooms in the museum for around 50 minutes.
• You're free to wander around the rooms at your own pace or explore with other members of the group.
• This isn't a guided tour of the rooms. We simply limit the number of rooms we visit so it's more manageable with a larger group than usual. Each event we choose a different theme or time period to explore.
• After this, we head to the pub!

THE PLAN:
2:00-2.40pm: MEET AND GREET IN BRITISH MUSEUM COURT CAFE
Look for the LoMAZ sign and hosts wearing LoMAZ badges.

2:40pm-3.30pm: GO TO 'SUFI LIFE AND ART' FREE EXHIBITION, ROOM 43a ON UPPER FLOOR
This can be found within The Albukhary Foundation Gallery of the Islamic world:
'This display will explore Sufi life and art through a selection of objects that represent Sufi communities in the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, and northern India. This mystical movement, which first appeared in the Islamic world during the eighth century AD, has been defined as a pathway to a personal experience with God.'

TICKETS:
⚠️ ⛔️ Entrance to the British Museum is free BUT YOU MUST BOOK A FREE TICKET. Please book your ticket here and choose a slot around 2pm ⚠️ ⛔️
The museum reached full capacity when we last visited and staff stopped anyone without a ticket entering. As we are attending on Easter Monday, if you don't book a ticket there is a good chance you won't be let in.

GETTING THERE:
Address: British Museum, Great Russell St, London WC1B 3DG
Find more information here.

EVENT WHATSAPP GROUP:
As our Unlimited events can get quite busy, we'll have a WhatsApp group for this event to help you find the group on the day.
The link will be posted in the event comments 2-3 days before the event.

FINALLY:
Please change your RSVP to 'no' if you can no longer attend, so the hosts have an idea of numbers for the pub booking.

Thank you for your interest in the group & being part of LoMAZ.
