The future of Tate Britain - May 2012 editorial
The future of Tate Britain There is no doubt that, for a considerable period, the position of the scholarly museum curator has been subject to a general attrition in institutions across Britain. While managers and administrators, departments for Human Resources, marketing, education and outreach have blossomed, curators have invariably found themselves sidelined. They are increasingly subject...

Cardiff: Wales and the bigger picture It is usually with some apprehension that one sets out to visit a museum that one has not seen for some years, especially if the earlier visit left a favourable impression.

A memorial too far THE PLEASURE TO be had from walking through the squares, parks and streets of London is by no means unalloyed for anyone sensitive to their visual surroundings.

Leonardo da Vinci in The Burlington Magazine
Leonardo da Vinci in The Burlington Magazine Leonardo da Vinci, like Van Gogh and Degas, is such a famous artist that his work is difficult to approach with a fresh, non-cynical eye. The overexposure of many of his paintings give the false impression that, because they have been seen so many times, all is known about them. The questioning of perceived assumptions is never more apt than...
