ArtSpam Favourites: December 2020

Now, the more observant of you will realise that the art works here are all on display at the same place and, for that I am not sorry at all. I mean, we also just came out of lockdown on the 2nd of December and then went into tier four on the 19th so... But, here’s the thing about lockdown, it really makes you appreciate the free art galleries and museums that the UK has to offer. They are filled with incredible things, from art to antiques to fossils formed millions of years ago to objects that survives the A-Bomb in Hiroshima. They are always worth seeing and during lockdown I missed going down to the V&A or the Tate on a lazy afternoon when I wasn’t having to work. Ah the good ol’ days.
