If you are visiting England some of the world's best art exhibitions are on in London and Cambridge this winter.
Degas and the Ballet at the Royal Academy is lovely, especially the drawings.I notice that some of them have been lent by someone from Pasadena.It seems that a millionaire living there bought them for his wife who was a ballerina. How romantic.
Leonardo da Vinci at the National Gallery has very complementary reviews. If you do not have a ticket already be prepared to stand in line for a long time.
Vermeer at the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge has irresistable paintings of women by Vermeer and others of the period. Cambridge is a good place to visit if you want to get out of London for a day.Go to the Copper Kettle on the way to the museum for coffee or the fantastic all day breakfast.
