The Big Draw

We went to the 'Big Draw' at the National Gallery on Sunday. It was pitched as a 'family day' but actually it wasn't really terribly kid-friendly at all.

Admittedly Audrey at 13 months old isn't much of a Van Gough - (perhaps more of a Jackson Pollock?) but the sculpture gallery where we ended up didn't allow for any other media other than 6B grey pencils (not exactly that much fun for kids?) and the guy in charge of the gallery was terribly upset when we parked Audrey's pram in the vicinity of a big sculpture. He was nearly apoplectic when she reached out to try and touch a shiny brass block.

It's a shame really as the gallery is a lovely place and the family day was a great idea - just not terribly well executed.

Still, we had a nice lunch there and a nice walk in the grounds (and sculpture garden afterwards)
