"The Royal Academy?s Summer Exhibition is the largest open contemporary art exhibition in the world, drawing together a wide range of new work by both established and unknown living artists. Now in its 240th year, the exhibition includes around 1,200 works and the majority of works are for sale."

didnt have time for the national gallery which we would have gpone to

also saw tate britain has an oriental art exhibition but we might manage to do that another time

went up to spitalfields and saw some not very good in the main student photos final work and then watched the football after an indian meal

had a rather nice weekend actually thank you

Wickedwaterwitch - I think it's 'the law' that Brian Sewell always has to slag it off!! I would be disappointed if he didn't!! We go anyway. A friend used to work at the RA (pre children) and would wait each year to see what he said, it became an essential part of the summer, how vile Brian Sewell could be this year! Hope you enjoy it.
