Thursday, June 8
Today was "Museum Day" - including the British Museum and the National Gallery. If you are into maximizing your art experiences with a minimum amount of walking, the National gallery is hard to beat! In contrast to the sprawling Louvre in Paris, London's Gallery is fairly small in size, but packed with work from the masters. For example, within steps of each other are works by: Michelangelo, da Vinci, Van Gogh (the actual "Sunflowers"), Botticelli, Raphael, Cezanne, Monet, Suerat, Gauguin, Rubens, Caravaggio, and, oh yeah, an entire room full of Rembrandt! And with free admission, you can't beat the price!
Perfect for me: culture on a budget.
