What does someone who has just finished managing an art exhibition do to unwind once it's all over?
Visit another art exhibition, of course!
My annual trip to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition prompted the usual mix of awe, humour, disbelief and inspiration — along with a fair bit of sensory overload by the time I reached the final room!
A few highlights from the day, including my absolute favourite in the last photo.
If you're looking for a creative spark this summer, it's definitely worth a visit.
