3D Films As you might expect from an animation company, this site is brilliant. With some great interactive features, such as changeable music and background images, the team has really found a great way of showing its stuff. The company specialises in creative design and character based 2D and 3D animation for TV and film. We like the look of Internet detective Floyd the Droid, who investigates crime on the Web (he'll never be short of work then), and George, the knight who "believes he is heroic, but is really just a bungling fool." Sounds like another George we know... Found in Animation and Special Effects

Colchester Museums If you fancy a cultural day trip in the South East of England, how about checking out this site for inspiration? Colchester is the oldest recognised town in Britain, so it's certainly got plenty of history to show off. The site offers comprehensive information on the museum collections, special exhibitions, and conservation of exhibits, so it's great for research or just personal factfinding. Did you know, for example, that there was an earthquake in Colchester in 1884? Or that the town's castle was once used as a gaol for witches? Found in History > Museums

Art.ie Speaking of culture, how about paying a visit to Art.ie ("The All Ireland Arts and Entertainment Website")? You'll find the latest news and best links to a range of museums, exhibitions, heritage, and more throughout the country. You can browse at your leisure, or search by town, date and type of event, so it's a very simple way of finding out what's on and where. You can also let others know about events in your area by adding listings yourself. Found in Ireland > Arts > Web Directories

Slug and Lettuce After you've trekked around all those museums and galleries, and immersed yourself in British history, you'll no doubt be needing a little time to unwind. The Slug and Lettuce chain has bars up and down the country, so you'll easily find one where you can pop in and chill out. The site tells you exactly where to find your nearest bar, and provides all kinds of information on food, competitions, and promotions, including a Student Art Tour and the footie World Cup, of course. Found in Bars, Pubs and Clubs

Body Worlds If you're a little squeamish, here's an exhibition (and web site) you might want to avoid. There has certainly been a lot of publicity and no shortage of controversy for this London showing of Gunther von Hagen's work. It's an anatomical exhibition "that provides unique insights into the healthy and diseased human body." Featuring real human bodies, we hasten to add. Some of the examples on show are unique in the field of plastination, so it's pioneering stuff on show. The exhibition runs until 29th September at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, a suitably sinister setting, we feel. Found in Arts > Exhibits > Body Worlds
