Following our lecture in October on Michelangelo 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 treasure in the museum. We are having two small tours so there can be group interaction. The first tour is from 2-3 the second tour will be from 3:15 to 4:15.
Please meet in the Cromwell Road entrance.
