    I can imagine being within these walls and seeing all the wonderful work by talented artists and sculptures. Such treasures exhibit the best in humanity.

    You all stay on the go all the time. If I lived up there, I would be doing the same thing. Now here is the question of the day - Gallery in London vs Gallery in DC. Which is your choice. I know you know what I will say...yes...London :-) Your photos are gorgeous. Great captures. Have a happy week. genie

    Wonderful shots from the museum. I find it hard to photograph in museums. You did a great job.

    I could only spend an hour in the national gallery but it's an hour in my life that I won't forget.

    Art galleries are treasures aren't they? Heart balm and an education.

    That's an amazing place, isn't it? I wish I'd had more time to spend there, but it would never be quite enough!
    Thanks for the memories, and thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/08/along-eno-river.html

    I love how you divided the tour into the sculptures and then the paintings (I read these posts backwards on two different days because I got interrupted yesterday, but it doesn't matter -- either way is perfect). I hope we get to see this amazing place in person someday, but meanwhile, thank you for sharing -- it is almost as good. I really didn't know all of this was there.
