London hotel bookings may be set to rise as travellers can now see a new exhibition
at the British Museum that showcases some of the finest artists of
recent times - it is entitled Picasso to Julie Mehretu.
The display features a variety of pieces from the arts space's archives, with the
work available to view until April 25th 2011.
As well as the two titular artists - both of whom need no introduction thanks to the
power of their work - there are also drawings by Otto Dix, Anselm Kiefer, Magritte
and Gerhard Richter.
The quantity and quality of world-famous artwork on show in the collection makes
Picasso to Julie Mehretu a real treat for fans of contemporary art staying at
accommodation such as Tophams Belgravia Hotel London.
"Collected over the past 35 years, this exhibition showcases many of the great
artists of the 20th century, starting with Picasso's study for his masterpiece Les
Demoiselles d'Avignon, the painting that shook the art world in 1907," explained a
representative from the British Museum.
Travellers on a budget will be delighted to hear that the museum does not cost
anything to enter, with the building opening from 10:00 to 17:30 GMT every day.
There are also a variety of free talks taking place during the show's run, such as
an introduction to the work on display on January 18th.
