Ok so I’m taking a hairpin turn from my Mallorcan memoirs to give you Mrs Carmichael’s vision of inside.
This photograph was taken in the Tate Modern on a recent visit to London’s South Bank and I have to admit to you neither K……, my viewing companion nor I could be bothered queueing to look inside the coffinish shaped boxes. But I decided others peering was worth a click or two.
Seriously, what do we think these boxes contain?
Answers on a postcard, please.

Love your take on this
I KNEW that photo would come in handy 🙂
lol, I had some photos I was going to get rid of, but, now with these themes, I am keeping them 🙂
good thinking, Batman
I try, Robin 🙂
I think his nose is stuck ..
Hahaha – now that’s a different take on it 🙂
haha 🙂
A funny entry, great 😀 And I have no idea what’s inside those boxes. Vampires? Bunch of swords? A weirdly shaped doll’s house? 😉
a doll with no eyes – arrgh
Ha! Great entry 🙂 As for what’s inside those boxes – could it be actual bones? Or a miniature cityscape – or more likely – absolutely nothing?
Yeah, I worried it was nothing which would have made me happy I didn’t queue but ad for ART.
That’s a shame – we couldn’t be bothered to queue either so I still don’t know how exciting that installation was – we probably missed nowt and your photo is the better of the two.
OMG, I cannot believe you were and didn’t line up either. It’s bugging me now.
What an amusing post, Mrs. C! I do wonder what collection the Tate is displaying these days. Like what you have implied, one has to be in the right mood to enjoy the Tate. 🙂
There were other wonderful exhibitions but this one hit my sarky funny bone.
Contain? Ah – nothing I hope! But clever post for the inside of things 😉
Surely there must be something in there. Although no one was ooohing and arrhing I have to say.
😀 A good one! I hope he found what he was looking for.
Me too – some new shoes?
I’m trying to think here….it’s at a museum of modern art. I’m going to guess there’s one of those fun house mirrors at the opposite end inside the box, so you get a good fright when looking in and see…. yourself, but all distorted.
Ooh I think that’s the best suggestion yet. Hence the silence from the viewers.
Funny.
I try 🙂
Well I enlarged it and there is a latch on one. I think they are clearly meant to transport something ( Hmmmmmm) safely !!!
ahh, Hadn’t done that. Snakes????
I’m giving up…. Great entry though, mrs.c 🙂
I gave up weeks ago 🙂
Great one!
Thanks. Because of the replies I’m more interested to know what’s in the boxes now.
I’ll bet it was nothing and that’s why nobody is saying anything. They’re all scratching their heads and bums wondering why they can’t see whatever is supposed to be in there.
I am so worried that you’re right. I might even check if it’s a permanent exhibit and go look. For the first time I’m actually interested to know. How mad is that?
multiple Pandora’s boxes? Good move not to look inside, Mrs C
Ooh you’re on a roll Mrs. I hadn’t thought of the Pandora aspect!
BTW check out/check out again my ‘multicoloured’. You’ve gained a mention.
LOL! Now of course you have me wondering what was in there!
Wish I knew, Tina. Wish I knew.
Quite funny, Mrs. C. I vote for the diorama idea. They’re boring enough for “no comment” and knowing that, you won’t have to return visit. 🙂
I have a funny feeling you are 100% correct so no return needed then?
I would be tempted to peek too. Part of the great trip, is to be surprised!
It sure is. Where’s your next adventure to be?
What’s outside is strange enough. How oddly that man is dressed, what an odd outer jacket he’s clutching behind him. A road worker? An off-duty fireman? An overage explorer?
And those shoes!
What a brilliant post. If it’s still on I must go. You have me intrigued now…
I don’t know if it was one of the permanents. I think not. But I have been known to be wrong 🙂
