My most sincere apologies to transatlantic members of this list - the
exhibition 'Seeing Salvation' is at the National Gallery London.
However, there will be a catalogue (priced at a very modest £9.95!) of
the exhibition. I've attached the full press release for anyone else who
might be interested. There will also be a number of programs on BBC2
over Christmas and next April (leading up to Easter) dealing with
depictions of Christ. Details are in the press release.
End of advert.
