Presentation
Just to give a little taste on what you can find on the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, UK.
The entrance is fantastic with the beautiful sculpture of Lucifer by Jacob Epstein, the angel that got thrown away from the Heavens, it's here, under the huge glass dome almost like trying to get back up.
What did I found in the rounded wall at the left of the angel? One of the most perfect paintings from one of my favorite painters: William Blake Richmond!
Its impressive the power that he applied to the painting, if you sit in the room looking at it, after 2 minutes you start to have that feeling that in fact you're the one to be watched. It's the most impressive painting.

| This painting is huge, and you think you can't see the characters well... |

| But then you realize that each of them is judging you! |
Another one is this Champion!
Is so well conserved, the colors is just how the photo is: clear and vivid.
As you start leaving the entrance (yes, this was only the entrance, of course has more paintings but i only putted some, so you can come over and see them yourselves), you enter the Japanese Collection, with the wood paintings, the samurai armor and lacquer ware.
