The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and Swansea’s Museum Green will host two unique exhibitions in 2024, showcasing the 14th-century Wilton Diptych and the world-renowned Luminarium by Architects of Air, offering visitors immersive experiences into medieval art and contemporary art installations.
Medieval Diptych Heading to Ashmolean Museum in Oxford
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford will exhibit the 14th-century Wilton Diptych from May 10 to September 1, 2024. This piece, depicting King Richard II being presented to the Virgin and Child by Saints, is part of the National Treasures event celebrating the National Gallery’s bicentennial. This marks the first loan of the diptych by the National Gallery since 1929. The diptych, painted between 1395 and 1399, will be displayed alongside significant medieval exhibits in the England 400-1600 Gallery.
World-Renowned Luminarium Art Exhibition Coming to Swansea
From May 30 to June 2, 2024, the Luminarium by Architects of Air will be showcased at Museum Green in Swansea.
