Among the museum's collection there are real fine ail masterpieces. There is, for example, the world-famous work of Diego Velazquez, The Portrait of Infanta Margaret, located in the Spanish hall of the museum.

The famous portrait appeared in Kyiv after Bohdan Khanenko had purchased it in Berlin on the sale of Hamburg council Weber’s collections. The presentation of the painting in Kyiv was arranged very mysteriously.

Khanenko hadn't informed the guests of the banquet about the true reasons. When the curtain was taken away from Velasquez’ masterpiece, the audience was really impressed. The picture created a real excitement in cultural life of that time Kyiv.

Museums and art galleries of London

London is very rich in museums and art galleries.

If you are fond of painting you'll go to the Tate Gallery. A rich sugar manufacturer Henry Tate founded it in 1897. There are about 300 oils and 19000 watercolours and drawings. There are many works by the English painter William Turner there. Most of his paintings are connected with the sea theme. There are a lot of paintings by the 16-th century English artists and paintings by foreign artists of the 19-20-th centuries. There are some paintings by impressionists there. You can see works by modern painters: Pablo Picasso among them. There are many interesting sculptures there. Henry Moor's can be seen there. He was a famous British sculptor. The National Gallery is one of the most important picture galleries in the world. The Tate Gallery is the most necessary compliment to the National Gallery as it contains contemporary works particularly by English and French masters.

The British Museum is the largest and richest of its kind in the world. It comprises the national museum of archaeology and ethnography and the national library. The present building was built in 1852. By law a copy of every book, periodical and newspaper, published in Britain must be presented in the British museum. It contains books and manuscripts: Greek, Roman, British and Oriental antiques. It has a department of Ethnography. This collection is so vast that only a very small percentage of it is on show to the public. There's also a department of prints and drawings. There're departments devoted to maps, coins, medals and philately. Those who come to the British museum can see a fascinating array of clocks and watches.

Cultural life of London would be impossible without the Royal Albert hall, the Royal Festival hall, the National theatre and a great number of museums: the Victoria and Albert museum, the Geological Museum, the Museum of Mankind, Natural history museum and others.

T: I liked your work during the lesson. I think you have known a lot of interesting things about artistic traditions of Ukraine, the Museum of Western and Oriental Art in the capital, and the family of the Khanenko.

Remember a very popular proverb "There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are-others who with the help of their art and their intelligence transform a yellow spot into the sun".
