Museum Photo Dump: The National Gallery, London
I’ve been loving the “photo dump” trend on Instagram, where you basically just put together a collection of photos about a particular topic. Mostly weekends, holidays, a particular event or place. So I’ve decided to start a little series going back through my own collection of photos from different museums across the world. These will just be photos taken on my phone, so nothing professional here but I always love looking back on them so I thought I’d share the love here.
I’m starting with The National Gallery in London because this weekend I’m going to Canberra to see ‘Botticelli to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from The National Gallery, London’ and I just wanted to remember how lucky I am to have been to the real place. I’m also interested to see what has been picked from the collection to come to Australia.
