British Genius opens in London to celebrate Jubilee
A London exhibition sponsored by a cigarette firm bills itself as Britain’s answer to criticism of decline. Housed in a tent in a park, British Genius costs over 1.7 million dollars and runs through Oct. 30. It highlights British achievements from the Beatles to superconducting generators, featuring pioneers like Rutherford and Turing and future tech in a forward focus. A T-shirt reads I’m a British Genius as visitors exit through a sales area.
