I've moved on to the notion that a more manageable way of listing exhibitions might be to do three separate posts covering
- Major / National Art Galleries & Museums - essentially those who are recipients on major grant in aid from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS);
- Significant Art Galleries & Museums - these are typically smaller art galleries and museums (but they're not small!) which have either notable permanent collections and/or put on notable exhibitions;

Exhibitions in London Art Galleries in Autumn / Winter 2022

to shopping lists and tax returns, the hieroglyphic inscriptions and ancient
handwriting in this exhibition reveal stories that are fantastically varied.
