Museum Day

National Gallery

Since it was rainy today, we decided to do a museum day. We started at the National Gallery. We spent many hours enjoying beautiful paintings by Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Botticelli, Monet, Van Gogh, Canaletto, Degas, Van Dyck, Delacroix, Pissarro, Turner, etc.

David’s find for most unusual picture… A boy and a girl with a cat and an eel???

Next we went to lunch at a wonderful Indian restaurant. David had the Pudina Ghosht (mint lamb curry) and I had chicken tikka masala. His was really good!

Next we saw the Sir John Soane Museum (archeology hoarder).

Finally we ended the day with the British Museum. The best part was seeing the treasures from Sutton Hoo since we had recently watched a Netflix movie about that. Also had a cool exhibit about the evolution of clocks. We ended up running out of time here and will try to come back tomorrow.
