I don't think you'd find these pictures awkward to look at with your daughter. Schiele is quite confrontational, but not salacious even when he's explicit - there's certainly a chance to have an interesting conversation about the male gaze. The Silver vaults are well worth a visit if you ever have a bit of spare time in London.

(We did see plenty of other nice art). I'd never heard about the Silver Rooms, must try to visit if I get back to London someday.)Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-29967356300385507382019-01-20T20:22:39.382+00:002019-01-20T20:22:39.382+00:00At last someone understands!

The Klimt Schiele exhibition was a treat, I'm lucky that work has a corporate membership with the RA so I can get in for free - it helps balance the exorbitant cost of train tickets on East Midland Mainline.
