[edit] Gower Street Room
The Gower Street Room is one of the permanent collection rooms of the Royal Art Gallery. It features mostly English art from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood[1], a group of painters, poets and critics founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt. The GS Room is named after the Gower Street in London, where the Brotherhood was founded.
The Royal Art Gallery offers the visitor a great collection of paintings by famous English painters, such as John William Waterhouse. Not only Pre-Raphaelite paintings are in this collection, but also other European artists with a similar style.

[edit] Haystack Hall
The Haystack Hall is the fourth room in the Royal Art Gallery. It is named after the Haystack paintings[3] of Claude Monet, of which one was given to the Royal Art Gallery by Lovian citizen George Matthews. This painting has a special location in this hall. It is expected more impressionist art will be added to the Haystack Hall.
Claude Monet (French pronounced [klod mɔnɛ]) (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.
