Went to town and saw four exbish:-
1/ Leonardo da Vinci National Gallery
Billed as the 'once in a lifetime exhibition' and in some ways I hope so as the queues were daft. Luckily having advance tickets meant we only queued the once. First time the two 'Virgin of the Rocks' have been shown together, for me the stand out thing that I learnt was that his rough draft sketches took only minutes.
Stand out image was The Burlington House Cartoon
2/ Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2011 National Portrait Gallery
Loved the Kiera Knightley
3/ The First Actresses: Nell Gwyn to Sarah Siddons National Portrait Gallery
A nice exhibition all pretty Gainsborough type stuff :-)
4/ World Press Photo 2011 South Bank
Brilliant photography but mostly illustrating all too well man's inhumanity to man
