European Paintings Skylights Project-The Relationship between Paintings and Light

In this video, Keith Christiansen, John Pope-Hennessy Chairman of the Department of European Paintings, provides an overview of the Skylights Project-in which the skylights that admit natural overhead light into the galleries for optimal viewing of the collection will be replaced-and describes the role natural light plays in enhancing the experience of looking at paintings.
