Interesting that ...Thank you for your kind words! <br /><br />Interesting that the Hunterian is slightly older. Still, being in Scotland, that does leave the Dulwich Art Gallery as oldest in England.

Lots of detail and pointers for places to explore.<br /><br />I found your blog when researching the artist Whistler and was looking for the history of the Rotherhithe Tunnel (pity that it isn't very walkable today!!).<br /><br />I was at a short talk given by the Director of the Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery in Glasgow at the Dulwich Picture Gallery this week and the Dulwich staff did not demur when he said that his museum was the oldest in the UK having been opened in 1807.<br /><br />You might like to look at my blog at http://walkbustrainboatplanecar.wordpress.com/<br /><br />clashgournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-7869209638060223822011-01-22T22:03:40.711+00:002011-01-22T22:03:40.711+00:00You're right, if they've got any sense the...You're right, if they've got any sense they'll follow the BM's example and have two parties!CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-56147547108524202612011-01-22T15:43:36.856+00:002011-01-22T15:43:36.856+00:00There's no reason why the Dulwich Picture Gall...There's no reason why the Dulwich Picture Gallery can't have two parties.<br />The British Museum has celebrated its 250th birthday twice (to my knowledge) in the last ten years.
