In July the museum was overcrowded, many were not wearing masks, groups of students were there adding to the chaos, and it felt a bit overwhelming after pandemic lockdown mentality.
That said, the Raphael Exhibition was a once in a lifetime event and I am thankful to have been able to see it.
Employees and volunteers were helpful and well informed.
It was a bit of a maze to find everything and having seen it all I was feeling as if I had been overloaded with beauty and so saturated I needed time to process it.
