Trip to the National Gallery
From October to January the National Gallery will be holding its much-awaited
exhibition of Velasquez (1599 - 1660). This is the U.K.'s first ever
comprehensive exhibition tracing the artist's entire career. The National
Gallery's own substantial holdings will be augmented by important works on loan
from the Museo del Prado and other major collections - almost half of the
world's surviving works by Velasquez will be on show. This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity to see the achievements of one of the world's greatest and
most influential painters. The cost of the trip will be £22 (members and
students) or £24 (non-members) which includes admission (at the £10 per person
group rate) plus transport. The coach will leave the main University bus stop
promptly at 8.30am, car parking is available in the multi-storey car parks 7 or
8 (£1.80 charge). The return time will be about 7.00pm.
