Rossetti's Portraits
I've popped along to Bath's Holburne Museum many times to do interviews about up-and-coming exhibitions - but it's usually when the gallery is hung and ready to go.
Today was different. Outside the museum - glorious sunshine. Inside - in the top floor exhibition space - museum staff were still hanging and lighting the contents of this autumn's unique show. At the same time, art critics - down from London - were also milling around reviewing what they will no doubt be writing about on their train journey back home.
This show - which opens to the public on Friday - is devoted to one of the giants of Victorian art and is the first exhibition dedicated to Dante Gabriel Rossetti's portraits.
He was one of the founder members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - one of the most eminent artistic movements of the Victorian era.
I managed to grab a quick word with Holburne Director, Chris Stephens, to find out more.
