National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery has reopened after a lengthy refurbishment.  Amongst the new features are some massive doors with Tracey Emin engravings. I went to see "Eyes of the Storm" an exhibition of photographs taken by Paul McCartney in 1963/64 just as the Beatles' fame exploded. The exhibition was larger than I expected, full of fascinating images and very well-presented.

Afterwards we toured the upper floors of the main collection, of many royals, politicians and others. It was quite crowded so we bailed-out after two hours with lots more still to see. Another time.
