Today, one of the major banks arranged free entry for its cardholders into the Archibald Prize 2012. I took advantage of the offer this morning before meeting up with My for a movie. I walked through the Domain to the Art Gallery.

The waiting crowd was as interesting as some of the artwork.

By opening time several hundred people were queued for entry and once inside it took me twenty minutes before I was able to collect my ticket.

Viewing art is a tiring activity for some.
