I went to Tate Britain the other day. Walking along Atterbury Street you can see a lot of bomb damage to the wall. This photo shows part of the damage dating from World War II. The gallery was hit a few times during the almost nightly raids. Apparently the art work was safely stored elsewhere except for a piece outside that was too large to move, Truth by Frank Dobson. This survived a near miss in May 1941.
