Royal Portraits come to Texas

For Thanksgiving Break I traveled to Austin, Texas, to spend the holiday with friends.  We drove to Houston (about 2.5 hours) to see the Tudors to Windsors exhibit at Houston's Museum of Fine Arts.  Most of the portraits were on loan from the National Portrait Gallery in London.

The ceiling lights did not work well with my flash, which explains the dots on many of the photographs.

I have visited the National Portrait Gallery in London on numerous occasions.  I did not have time to visit during my May 2018 trip  -- there was a royal wedding that seemed to be taking precedence, so this exhibit offered an opportunity to see several new portraits and photographs.

If you are unable to make a quick trip to Houston,  you can purchase the companion book by David Cannadine.

The exhibit travels to  Australia, in 2019.
