So nice to be in the stillness of a gallery after our crazy few weeks. After going in here I felt like my brain had been taken out and washed. I was surprised at how many important pieces of work they had here- including Rodin's Thinker and also Marcel Duchamp's Fountain. But what was really great was finding out about some Japanese artists such as Yamashita Kikuji and Iwami Furusawa. I also really recommend Taro Okamoto, and there were countless others which stood out also. There was a whole section on war paintings that was incredible- Dan bought a book. Fujita Tsuguharu's depictions of battle were especially striking. I also saw Monet's Waterloo Bridge and I couldn't stop looking at it. It felt like I was being sucked in. Good Job TMOMA.

| Yamashita Kikuji's 'Tale of Akebono Village'. I was very taken with this- Google the whole of it |
