The answers to today’s Strands, game #128, are…
[ul]
[li]SCULPTURE[/li][li]PAINTING[/li][li]COLLAGE[/li][li]LITHOGRAPH[/li][li]MURAL[/li][li]SPANGRAM: ARTMUSEUM[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]My rating: Easy[/li][li]My score: Perfect[/li][/ul]
Confession: I had never heard the term ‘art museum’ before today. It’s possible that I’m an uneducated heathen who has no knowledge of the finer arts, but I suspect it’s more a language barrier thing. I think that the term art gallery is more widely used here in the UK – it’s certainly what I’d use to describe the likes of the Tate in London. Or maybe I’m just an educated heathen.
Anyway, that confusion aside, I solved this without any real problems. The theme clue left little doubt as to what was needed, and as soon as I found SCULPTURE I was up and running and on the hunt for more. It was only the spangram – due to the aforementioned gallery/museum confusion - and LITHOGRAPH (because it’s a long and complicated word) that delayed me completing it in record time.
