As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries （陈列室） and into public places,some of the country’s best-known artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings .Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain ,almost 100 now have precious collections of contemporary （当代的） art in corridors ,waiting areas and treatment rooms.
