We are continuing our hunting games. At least the Rubens paintings on the ceiling of the Banqueting House have not been covered up :).

I guess people at the Nation...Two floors is a lot! I guess people at the National Gallery do not really care where they put paintings (in the rooms or into storage). They have so many and so many visitors that they think there is enough to look at. But taking away all Rembrandt paintings? That is just strange. There is another museum the students have to see (medical exhibition), but that museum will close soon for renovations (they will stay closed for several years). We have to take that off our museum list for next year's students. <br /><br />I think they are happy with their classes. There are three places they go to now to take classes, but I have lost track where they are and what they are called. They are in good areas, though. So we do not have to worry too much when they go. Just the later classes, we only let them go together.

I grew to love their first exhibit but they took it down before the year was up and my sister missed seeing it. There were so many paintings I had wanted to show her. If they had just changed a few of them, or just one of the rooms, it would have been fine . . but they took everything down from TWO whole floors! Your situation sounds just as frustrating . . to take down all the Rembrandts seems foolhardy to me!! Anyway, good luck with it over the next few weeks! I hope they manage to keep up a few that you like! And I hope the ballet lessons go well (that was funny with Charlotte's class turning into a modern dance class!)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-26723507975437387992017-02-05T17:58:13.459-05:002017-02-05T17:58:13.459-05:00I love the hunt the paintings game but I can appre...I love the hunt the paintings game but I can appreciate it must be very frustrating for both staff and students. I am sorry that Charlotte was disappointed with the dance class. Hope you have had a good weekend 😘 Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.com
