Baroque at V&A

Typical Baroque CarvingFor everything you ever wanted to know about the Baroque style but were afraid to ask, Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence opens at the V&A tomorrow 4 April and continues until 19 July. This is the age in which picture frames went bananas, and many people still think that an old-master painting should be surrounded by ormolu. Admission prices? Don't ask. It's another ripoff for foreign tourists. Recession? What recession?
