Battles, beheadings and bloody monsters: not exactly what you’d want on your living room wall!
Join us on this 75-minute evening tour which looks at the surprising popularity of the gorier stories from our collection. We'll explore tales from history, mythology and the Bible found in the art of the Renaissance, the Baroque and beyond. Not for the faint hearted...
