Things Learned at the National Gallery

I'm bored of Hopper. The exhibition is pleasant, but how many paintings of a building can a person see?

Ben Stein is taller than I imagined. He was wandering around the exhibition: suit, pink shirt, tennis shoes.

There are some pieces on exhibition that have a telephone number next to them - audio tours visitors can access with their cell phones. Granted, they haven't told the guards this. I looked at Richard Serra, dialed the number, walked away and got told by two guards to get off the phone.
