Poster about The Holbein exhibition

After an absence of a few days (due to actually having class), I did another day of sightseeing around the capital. After a late start due to rain, part of the Tube was flooded!!! I went to the Tate Britain to see the Holbein (court painter to Henry VIII) exhibit. It was fabulous, saw most of his really famous paintings. Too bad, it's only in town til Jan. While I was there, I visited the other exhibits. The museum is focused on British art from about the 1500s to 1900. Needless to say I enjoyed it better than the Tate Modern. Just a few pictures since we obviously couldn't take pictures inside.
