Dick Frizzell shares his favourite galleries around the world.
I love all galleries of course — they always define our travels, but I do love some museums more than others.
The huge metropolitans, nationals, Uffizi, Prado, etc, I find it a bit much with their queues, atriums, rubberneckers and cafeterias. I can do without the gormless commentaries too (from the public, I mean … though some of the experts drive me nuts with their loud and haphazard opinions).

I'm looking forward to the Thyssen Bornemisza, in Madrid, this year and I haven't yet been to the Hermitage, in St Petersburg. Ask me again in 2020!
