This weekend I visited Hampton Court Palace and was really blown away by some of the amazing old tapestries, stained glass windows and paintings that were in there. They are all hundreds of years old and still attract a crowd to come and see them all year round. They are perfect examples of how images can tell stories; old illustration! Henry VIII collected them to impress his many guests and his collection was as renowned then as it is now, showing how important and relevant art is (and always will be) in society. I also thought it was amazing how detailed they were and how much time and effort must have been put in to create them.
