One of the joys when I lived in London, was going to the Tate (only one then) & walking into a gallery where a Turner was displayed — the light! Wonderful! A friend introduced me to Turner, as well as the pleasure of returning to museums over & over & not trying to consume everything all at once. "Museums go to your feet," she would say, if you try to take everything in on one visit.
What a great (re)discovery—
