Following our lecture on Michelangelo (October 2024) we are visiting the V & A to look primarily at the Cast Courts.
Opened in 1873, the Cast Courts display copies of some of the world’s most significant works of art reproduced in plaster, electrotype, photography, and digital media. The cast collection is famous for including reproductions of Michelangelo’s David, Trajan’s Column, and Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise, amongst many others.
Chantal Brother-Rathcliffe with lead the tour and also take us to other related treasures in the museum.
Please meet inside the museum by the Cromwell Road entrance.
