So, it’s day one of my summer seminar abroad and I wanted to document my experiences throughout my stay,  particularly the museums we’ll be visiting and all that encompasses that, the building, the art, the visitors, etc.

Our first stop was The Wallace Collection, which includes “French 18th century painting, furniture and porcelain with superb Old Master paintings and a world class armoury”. http://www.wallacecollection.org/

I have to say, The Wallace Collection is a wonderful and fabulous collection. The building and space is just beautiful. The exhibition of the portraits paintings, sculptures and furniture, are done in a very European style. The color palette for each room or space added an extra layer that enhanced and tied all these aspects together. Some of the works that I saw today are by artist such as Titian, Diego Velazquez, Eugene Delacroix, Anthony Van Dyck, Rembrandt Van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Gerard Ter Borch,  Andriaen Brouwer, Jean-Antoine Watteau and many others.
