The National Gallery is one of the most spectacular arts venues in London. Today I specifically spent time in the Sunley Room viewing the new three-panelled tapestry "The Caged Bird's Song" (2014-2017), created by the award-winning British artist Chris Ofili CBE and hand woven by a team of textile artists from Dovecot Studios. The scale of the artwork, its vivid colours and the sublime imagery were wonderful to behold, and I am delighted that I had an opportunity to see this superb piece up close. It is always a pleasure to visit the National, and I look forward to returning again very soon!
