Hear Larry Keith, our Head of Conservation and Keeper, talk about the challenges and the highlights of cleaning and restoring Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Virgin of the Rocks’ and how this important work has greatly increased our knowledge of Leonardo’s paintings.

The Gallery becomes a painting studio, an imagined chapel and a room-sized experiment in this immersive exhibition that leads you through the mind of Leonardo da Vinci to explore his masterpiece, ‘The Virgin of the Rocks’.
