The National Gallery Open-Air
August 12 2021
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The National Gallery in London have decided to hang some of their masterpieces outside in the open-air on Trafalgar Square. Worry not, they're only 'reproductions' and are part of Westminster Council's Inside Out Festival to bring visitors back into the capital.
Considering that we are living in an age where technology is increasingly attempting to replace the physical original with the virtual, let's hope these copies have the desired effect and lead people within the gallery's doors!
