MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE

Medieval & Renaissance Galleries

The Medieval & Renaissance Galleries are home to one
of the world's most remarkable collections of treasures
from the period ranging from delicately carved ivories and
intricate metalwork to Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks and
powerful sculptures. The galleries tell the story of European
art and culture from AD 300–1600; from the decline of the
Roman Empire to the end of the Renaissance period.

These galleries have been made possible thanks to the
Heritage Lottery Fund and the generosity of many other donors.

Medieval & Renaissance Online is supported by the Bonita Trust
