The Tate Britain has just been reorganized to proceed chronologically, without commentary. I doubt I've been before, but if I have, it was 10 years ago and I don't remember, so I can't compare.
It was great--there are loads of Turners, which gave me a new appreciation for him. There is Dante Gabriel Rossetti's first major painting, The Girlhood of Mary Virgin, which couldn't be more chock-full of symbolism and is accompanied by a poem below it.
There is lot's of Eric Gill (I ready Beauty Looks After Herself back at Baylor). And a whole lot of other stuff.
