Eaves dropping on the Library roof



April 1, 2020

An update from up above.

I previously reported on the state of play with the National Art Library’s roof refurbishment project. Work has now been suspended but plenty of progress has been made up to this point.  So, for now, here are a few more photo’s to satisfy the roof enthusiasts (I know you’re out there!). I will post again when we know the revised completion date for the project, previously scheduled for May. We will have our ‘happily ever r-afters’ in the end!

If you would like keep in touch with the latest on the Library’s collections and activities, you can also subscribe to our newsletter here.
