Visit To National Portrait Gallery |
|
 |
The Surfers visited the National Portrait Gallery on Tuesday
24th January 2012 following its recent refurbishment.
Opening up and extending the Galleries has brought more
daylight and a feeling of space into the building. There did
not appear to be any shadows because of the clever use of
lighting and glass ceiling panels.
The open design means that portraits and painting which have
been in storage for many years are now on public view. This
now means the Gallery can be visited again and again and
still find points of interest at each visit. The Surfers
found lots to interest them and will be paying another
visit.
At the end of the visit we visited a well stocked shop and
made the inevitable purchases!
There is also a cafeteria which the Surfers did not manage
to enjoy.
Do try and pay a visit… It is well worth it!
