medieval and renesanceOver seven years in the planning, two years in the building and showcasing the World’s largest collection from the period, the V&A’s Medieval & Renaissance Galleries will open on 2 December 2009.

The 10 new galleries include The Renaissance City 1350-1600. The Gallery will be a stunning space for drinks receptions or for pre-dinner drinks followed by a dinner in the Dome or Raphael Gallery.

Large scale works, once part of impressive Renaissance buildings are displayed in the context of a cityscape. Dramatic sculptures by Giambologna and others will stand in a setting evocative of a courtyard and garden. The choir screen from the Cathedral of St John at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, one of the largest objects on show, provides a powerful backdrop for events.
