Review of Dulwich Picture Gallery

The whole experience of a beautiful day and wonder...

The whole experience of a beautiful day and wonderful painting was spoilt when I saw some earings In the gallery shop and the staff couldnt identify the earings and price on the system. I waited patiently while it took them half an hour. As it was the last pair and ex display I asked politely and with a smile if It can be duscounted and the staff agreed and the manager came and said no we cant and kept saying why you asking and The assistant explained but the manager kept saying dobt know why you would ask. Anyway as I reslly liked the earings and wanred to support the local artist I paid but then to make matters worse he said oh I can give you a bag whuch is free . It was a paper bag and I said that is free anyway and he said you want something for free so you csn have this. So I just gave the earings back. It was an insulting experience and ruined my day. I even gave donation at the entrance.
