Exhibition
Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney

The arrival of The Lady and the Unicorn tapestry cycle at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from February 10 presents a rare opportunity to see a work of art revered by specialists and enthusiasts alike. It has been called everything from the “Mona Lisa of the Middle Ages”, to “a national treasure of France”. Comprising six individual pieces and made around the year 1500, tapestries of such quality are rare, and few examples survive.

This is a stunning exhibition - superbly mounted and lit. You can get very close to the tapestries and appreciate the complex designs in detail.
