Around the World
Madness or genius? Doesn’t matter now, because I did it anyway! A photograph of every single work in the East and West Buildings of the National Gallery of Art (except some small galleries on the main ground floor that are less interesting).
For the first time, I felt the full force of the collections (and the breadth of the challenge of Art 2010). And I hope it’s a good chance for all of you (especially those living further afield) to explore the Gallery, top to bottom!
So here it is, around my world of art in under 7 minutes.

Aleid, amazing tour under seven minutes. Strange experience yes, but also surprising how many works of art you have already described and introduced to your blog readers.
As always, the blog is original and fresh
From far afield,
