       | Schwitters legacy lives on. When I was studying at the Royal
       | College of Art I was part of the Mertziety which made yearly
       | excursions out to the Mertz barn[1] which is where Kurt took
       | shelter in the UK during the Second World War. It's in a
       | beautiful location located in Elterwater in the Lake District UK.
       | Ian and Celia who take care of the place are very keen to share
       | their stories to anybody who's visiting and it's well worth a
       | visit for anybody who's in the area.
       | 
       | For a contemporary incarnation of Schwitters attitude to making
       | art check out Catriona Robertson [2] who was one of the original
       | founders of Merzierty.
