'Queen's House' re-opens

The Queen's House in Greenwich has re-opened to the public after a refurbishment, and very handsome it looks too. Well done to all involved. A star exhibit is the newly acquired 'Armada Portrait' of Elizabeth I. 

Inevitably, there creeps into the video above the phrase 'an installation by the Turner-prize winning artist...'. No museum or gallery is safe without one these days, it seems. In this case it involves some gold squiggles on the wall. But it doesn't look too distracting from the main event, and even, dare I say it, might compliment it.
