Art for All

Whether you’re into bestiality, yellow or strange faces – or you just have a hangover—Tate Britain is the place for you. And they’ll give you a guide to prove it. Launched this winter, the guides like “I’m an animal freak collection” or “I’ve got a big meeting collection” direct you to just the work you need to see for your frame of mind. Just been dumped? Go see Millais’s Ophelia, which comes accompanied by the comforting words:
“We know how it feels. You don’t even want to wake up in the mornings. Everything feels like Ophelia by John Everett Millais. But think about it: if someone else went through that, maybe it’s not the end of the world for you.”

Indeed. And being the clued-up, interactive, art-is-for-the-peeps place Tate Britain claims to be, they’ll even let you make your own guide. Pick up the leaflet at Tate’s front desk. It is called “The ‘_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _’ Collection.” And they’ll even publish the ones they like best.
