For twelve weeks over the summer of 2007, London's West End was turned into a giant art gallery. The Grand Tour was organized by the National Gallery and Hewlett Packard and allowed reproductions of priceless paintings to be set free around the streets of London. Wherever you walked around Soho, Piccadilly, and Covent Garden you found world famous paintings hidden on back streets. It was easy to miss them as they were reproduced at the same size as their original, which hangs in the National Gallery, and some are much smaller than expected. But then some are much larger - see Whistlejacket!
