National museum today. it's gas how much smaller a space it is, compared to the gallery. joined a walking tour, not recommended; it's a whistle stop tour through a bunch of the more high profile exhibits and is mainly aimed at people with little or no knowledge of irish history but is so broad in scope it misses out loads.Just dedicated an afternoon for the first time in a couple of decades to wandering around the national gallery. Forgot just how much stuff there is there. Some of the portraits in the portrait competition section are superb.
Also noteworthy how murky many of the paintings are. Do I remember that there is or was someone on thumped whose partner is an art restorer?
