Roy and I went to an after-hours party at the Ashmolean today. The hostess rented the entire museum –all 4 floors–for her party. Canapes and champagne in close proximity with priceless art!!
It was the sort of party at which you were guaranteed to feel under-dressed and under-jewelled, but I had some congenial and convivial conversations–and the remodelled museum provided an incomparable setting!!
I like it more now than during my student days–it is bright, airy and full of light, very modern, but my favourite paintings, especially the Pre-Raphaelites still have precious memories for me!!
