During our European travels we do come across art museums, which we visit, and publish about as part of the regular travelogues (where you can find back many of the entries). We also purposely travel to museums in our backyard, for the collection or for a special exhibition, for which we also create an entry. So you’ll find a wide range or art – paintings, sculptures, installations – on this page, obviously dominated by our personal taste.
