Art Galleries
Halifax is lucky to have a good art gallery downtown. I have enjoyed art galleries everywhere I have lived or travelled and tried to inspire my children's art appreciation by taking them to visit many.
One of my favourites is the spectacular Tate Modern on the banks of the Thames in London. It is housed in a seriously weird renovated power station. It is one of four Tate galleries. The first, now called Tate Britain, is also on the banks of the River Thames, in Millbank. It stood right opposite the office I worked in for a year on the Albert Embankment on the south bank of the Thames. I visited it often and loved its collection of J. M. Turner's beautiful watercolours. If you are in London soon, do visit both; you will not be disappointed.
