Pompeo Batoni Tours

Last February I reviewed Pompeo Batoni 1708-1787 in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery, London, and pointed out that silver surfers and students could gain entry every Tuesday between 2.30 to 6pm for only £4 (CLICK). NG has now added some jam to this concession: free guided tours of the exhibition, starting at 2.30pm and only on Tuesday afternoons. This requires precision timing. Don't be early or you'll be charged the full whack. Don't be late or you'll miss the tour. (Thinks: mad dash at 2.30 with walking sticks and Zimmer frames hurtling toward the tour guide. Silver surfers need to be fit in London!)
