Step back in time @ Victoria Gallery and Museum
Hi all this is something very different to our usual visits however I am sure true art lovers will benefit a great deal as you will be required to think about what your seeing and hearing and as is usual with our group, ask many pertinent questions.
P.S if you have never visited this gallery you are in for a treat
in art and architecture.
N.B date / time is to be decided as Curator can not do 20th
Take care ,Maureen
