Things to do this Autumn

Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan
National Gallery
This is the most complete display of Leonardo's rare surviving paintings ever held and one of the most eagerly anticipated gallery events for many years.
The exhibition focuses on Leonardo as an artist and concentrates on the work he produced as court painter to Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan in the late 1480s and 1490s. Booking early is strongly recommended.

9 November 2011 – 5 February 2012
