The Gallery



What would a gear head like me do in a gallery, is the first thought that came to my mind when some one suggested that its a good place to visit.Checked the distance on g-maps and it's just a kilometer away.Took my bike and headed to the place.This is how far the non-exciting part of the story goes.Admission was free and the gallery was very very huge.So huge that one needs a map to get around inside the gallery.I have never been impressed by paintings so much. I spent 3 hours in there, till the guards had to show me the way out. There was Caravaggio master peices and some by W B yeats. French, Dutch,Spanish and fiinish paintaings. The was one painting dated to 1650 of an Indian girl.I was mesmerised by it. She was the most goergeous person i have seen. I spent 15 minuts in front of that painting alone.Some dated back to 1500's. Priceless and marvellous.No wonder some of them are close to 2 million Euros. I am definitely going back there!!!
I took a sneak pic somehow!
