Wonderful offbeat and romantic, an oil by Judith Gwyn Brown depicts figures in an imaginary museum in a showy style that captures the atmospheric sense of timelessness which only exists in places where history is entombed. Planets and stars float freely around one gallery and reconstructed dinosaur skeletons loom hugely in another, dwarfing the patrons who stroll rapt, through this chamber of marvels.
