There's a certain accessibility about smaller galleries, the ambience is more relaxed, usually more contemporary and less of a formal mystery of ancient history in the surroundings. Independent galleries are worth the visit every now and then, and definitely has the same triumph as discovering a little treasure filled cove of a vintage shop.
