Don&#8217;t be fooled however, throughout History, there has always been grandiose buildings next to hovels. I used to live in a mews flat in London and God knows they are pricy. Yet, until the 1960s they were dumps where only the poor or servants resided. Dickens described some of them in his books. Yet, it&#8217;s ironic that in this century where we seem to revere history and historical buildings so much, we have such a hard time maintaining them properly.<\/p>\n<p>As a sideline, you may have noticed that the anti museum is undergoing a few changes and well &#8230; not everything is going according to plans. The new theme is already in place, but there are quite a few bugs. The main menu is there for instance, yet you won&#8217;t be able to see it as the developers seem determined to show it to me exclusively. We&#8217;ll have to make do with this issue until I find a workaround and repair everything.<\/p>\n<p>As with Versailles, behind the scenes of the Anti museum, there are a lot of things you&#8217;d rather hide.<\/p>\n<p><em>[10:00 pm CET update: the menu has been fixed.
