As part of the Bicentenary celebrations, we have redesigned the Sainsbury Wing’s ground floor entrance and upgraded the visitor amenities, creating new, welcoming spaces for visitors now and in the future.

Alongside the reopening of the Sainsbury Wing, the paintings have been completely redisplayed. 'C C Land: The Wonder of Art' opens the door for visitors to experience 700 years of art in new and surprising ways.

Hear from our Director, Sir Gabriele Finaldi, Director of Collections and Research, Christine Riding, and Patrick O'Sullivan, Head of Art Handling, about what was involved in planning and rolling out these projects.
