John Soane's Dulwich Picture Gallery, 1811 -- the world's first public picture gallery -- designed in a playful 'toy-like' form of functionally stripped-down classicism, one wholly devoted to the function of hanging and displaying paintings for delightful public viewing.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
