PORTRAIT
DETECTIVES - interactive (liverpoolmuseums.org.uk)
"A portrait isn't just a pretty picture of a famous or wealthy
person. It is a treasure trove of clues and ideas. It can tell us
who a person was, how they lived and what they thought about themselves.
It can even tell us about the painter and their life.
Using paintings from the Walker we will show you how to find and interpret
these clues. You can take a 'guided tour' where we explain the portrait
to you, or you can visit the 'explore' section where you do the detective
work and find the clues yourself..."

Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett :
"... my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise...
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes...
The zombies were having fun...
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son...
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive..."
