Photos of the newly refurbished Room 32 at the National Gallery in London have been shared online.
The refurbishment was funded by a £4m donation from the Julia & Hans Rausing Trust. Work included reinstating the nineteenth century decorative work in the upper frieze and lunettes. This central space houses the gallery's collection of seventeenth century Italian paintings and had been closed for 21 months. The room will be renamed The Julia and Hans Rausing Room to recognise this generous donation.
