in London, visited on Friday - my birthday trip
Anyway, a really interesting place and unlike so many museums it seems to live. The skylights make it amazingly light and as it was bright there was a real airiness in what seemed a tight space at times.
If you get the chance it's well worth an hour of your life - I'd love to go for a candlelight viewing
Take the 360 degree tour....

It's also the home of Hogarth's original paintings of the Rake's Progress and The Election
