Feb 07 2020

Raising kids is one of the toughest tasks out there, and it can easily take up most of our time.

Art exhibition review: British Baroque: Power and Illusion at Tate Britain until 19 April 2020

Feb 04 2020

British Baroque: Power and Illusion is the first ever exhibition to focus on baroque culture in Britain. From the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the death of Queen Anne in 1714, the exhibition explores the rich connections between art and power in this often-overlooked era. The show includes many new discoveries and works displayed in public for the first time, many on loan from the stately homes for which they were originally made. It is hosted by Tate Britain for just over two months and, as every period retrospective, is a must see. It is also important to take kids to see these exhibitions, to bring history subjects alive and to get a feel for real artwork – not just art on computer screens.
