St. Paul Basilika, Belgium

The sender of this card tells me that the St. Paul Basilika  in Liege, Belgium, became the Cathedral after the destruction of the St. Lambertus Cathedral during the French Revolutlion in 1789.

Postcards My Sister Sent - The Museum

I get this feeling that my sister thinks I am in need of more culture.  She is widely travelled and has lived in several countries.  She immerses herself in the culture of the country when she is there.  Does that explain why she sends me postcards from museums?

The Shipwreck by J. M. W. Turner  1805
This hangs in the Tate Gallery
Was bequeathed by the artist to the gallery in 1865
A collection of Turner works is housed at the gallery. 
I was lucky enough to view some of these when they visited Toronto, Ontario in the early 1980's.
