| Arrived at the National Gallery before sunrise - Time to start queuing! |
 |
| Look at the queue.... |
 |
| ... |
 |
| ... It just kept on going. |
 |
| Queued up for four hours, only to get a 5:30pm slot. |
 |
| Five hours to kill, so I decided to go and visit some other exhibitions. After seeing Hokusai's "Great Wave" at the British Museum, I popped into the British Library and took a look at the illuminated manuscripts. |
 |
| Yes, yes. No photos. But it's me. I can't help it. |
 |
| I was inspired by what I saw. So much so that I bought myself a little gift. A wooden pen and ink set to be precise, ink blotter included! I then tried to acquire some gold leaf and vellum from my favourite art shop, but with no luck. Alas, the illuminating will have to wait. |
 |
| The exhibition was amazing. Truly. Stayed in there for three hours and I can honestly say it was worth every minute. Also, being in the National Gallery after hours is a great feeling. Very "Night at the Museum"-esque. |
