There was an interesting review of Birmingham'sBarber Institute of Fine
Arts in The Times earlier this week. You can read a
snippet here to see if it perks your interest as it
did ours.
The collection features works by (takes deep
breath) Monet, Manet and Magritte; Renoir, Rubens,
Rossetti and Rodin; Degas, Delacroix and Van Dyck; Botticelli,
Poussin, Turner, Gainsborough, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso and
Hodgkin. Taking a trip to see it in Edgbaston is
definitely on our 'To Do' list.
