This time we set aside plenty of time to examine everything in detail. I was particularly drawn to the dresses depicted in the paintings - European period dresses are incredibly beautiful, each one stunning. However, there were some middle-aged Chinese tourists loudly discussing and showing off, completely ignoring that others were trying to quietly appreciate the artwork. They were having loud conversations with their companions, apparently trying to demonstrate how cultured and knowledgeable they were... Please, just observe proper gallery etiquette...
