What I Learned on Monday...

This afternoon I learned about Access to Arts from the blog of the painter Tom Phillips who is its patron. Access to Arts describe themselves as a charity

"...which makes it possible for disabled and frail older people to visit museums and galleries in London."

Tom Phillips describes them as a small-scale but vital charity that

"...affords people who are no longer able to visit museums, galleries and exhibitions under their own steam the possibility of continuing their first-hand experience of art."

I wonder if there are any other organizations like this anywhere else? Because seeing art first-hand rather than in reproduction is very special.
