Velázquez is hot!

Last month, I reviewed the National Gallery's Velázquez exhibition and mentioned being 'overwhelmed' by how many people were 'crammed into the four large rooms.' Well, the cramming continued to the point of making the exhibition the Gallery's most popular paid-for exhibition ever.

Check out what the BBC has to say about the exhibition:

More than 235,000 people have so far been to see the 46 paintings by the Spanish master painter, with over 4,000 visits on a single day last week.
