Double delight. First the Elizabethan miniatures, showing the incredibly intricate work of miniature painters to the Elizabethan court. Housed in sephulcral dark conditions and displayed with very low lighting to preserve the colours.
They seem almost impossible to create at the time considering the constraints of lighting and materials. The delicacy and detail are outstanding.
Then there is the delightful exhibition of photographs by Martin Parr, a documentary photographer whose images are probably familiar to many people. Recently the pre-program intros on BBC TV. The images are outstanding and beautifully observed.
So altogether it was a morning well and happily spent. And worth the entrance fee, though free for members, which I am not.
