The redevelopment of the area around Cambridge station continues, no doubt making way for yet another block of flats.
The purpose of our trip was to see the Rembrandt exhibition at the National Gallery. No photography allowed of course but no restrictions next door in the National Portrait Gallery where there is a free exhibition of works by Grayson Perry, "Who are You?" The 14 portraits are "images about the nature of identity, snapshots taken from the narratives of people's lives". The people portrayed have "changed religion or gender, they have lost some of the physical or mental faculties, they have lost status, they belong to a group that is hoping it will be seen differently by society." |
