A big building with some tens of paintings which according to Tate represent all the british painting art?! Phhhh! A weak collection. OK, if you want to see REALLY something about the british painting, go to see the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven (USA) and for the pre-raphaelite current visit the Delaware Art Museum.

A big thank you to the "Tate Britain" for housing the Picasso exhibition, to those very nice people who own the art work for sharing the fantastic pieces with us all and to Chris White who gave the private tour.
