Hi! I’m Polly. I live in London and one of my favourite things to do is go look at art. I started this account to share what I see and connect with other art lovers here and around the world.

“Museums do not create division by presenting facts; they build understanding. They create space for dialogue, healing, and recognition.”

The erasure of African Americans from museum galleries is also a warning sign that any community's stories can be next.

Guernica, Picasso. 1937.

I’ve been thinking about this work a lot lately and how powerful it really is.

So glad I’ve gotten the chance to see it in person at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid 🇪🇸

Museums aren't the only place for art. You're still an artist, even if you don't have your work displayed in a museum. 🏛️

Amy Sherald Cancels #Smithsonian Exhibition over Censorship Concerns.

According to the artist, Bunch on Monday proposed replacing the painting with a video of reactions and a discussion of trans concerns.

I would consider an art reception potentially where the artist will be present and other guests and an open house more for the general public or museum members.
Photo of me at the excellent Do Ho Suh: Walk the House exhibit at the Tate Modern - just extended until 26 October and definitely not to be missed 🏠
