Seeing Shakespeare again after Ides of March (by @ace108)


Previously... | 上回。。。


What a coincidence. I have a post that is bit related to Shakespeare recently here:
Today is the Ides of March. Enjoy your ride on the steemit train. (by @ace108)

2nd time in a week in my life, I mentioned Shakespeare to the community here.


I was going to the National Library to attend talk in the evening and had some time when I noticed they have a small exhibit related to the man. Have look at the front and back of this postcard they have for the exhibition.

They have a electronic one on a tablet. I kept flipping trying to find the part on "Julius Caesar" but gave up. The darn scroll bar on the right was not accessisible.

It was just a small exhibit but it was a good chance to get this see this but still #whysocurios me wonder there is a way to find the electronic version when I'm home. After some search, conclude the answer is YES and it's here:

OK, now you have something to do this weekend. Hope you like it.
