As I moved to Vauxhall which is pretty close to both Tate Modern and Britain I finally got myself a Tate membership + guest and the first thing to do after that was to of course take my mum who was visiting me to the Pre-Raphaelites exhibition.
I was surprised that it was pretty big with many paintings brought from the US, usually I don't find temporary exhibitions to be that big and varied.
There are about 7 rooms I think but my absolute favorite is the Beauty room. Actually I talked about Pre-Raphaelites quite a lot HERE and it happened so that I saw the place where "Ophelia" supposedly was painted before I actually saw the real painting.
So I won't say much more, just do go see it, it is interesting, diverse and very beautiful.
I also got myself a "Lady Lilith" print which is now up on my wall next to the mirror, but sadly I won't be using instagram for a couple of months now so I'll just show you the picture of the painting itself. I am now actually planning to collect prints of my fave paintings from exhibitions I visit and have them all over my walls.
