Medieval manuscript illuminations on display at the National Gallery of Art

A fabulous exhibit of rare medieval manuscript illuminations is on display at the National Gallery of Art until August 2. The 52 single leaves and 4 bound volumes have not been exhibited in over 30 years, and they include works from Austria, Bohemia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.

Find out more at the Heaven on Earth exhibition page; and if you can't make it to Washington, D.C. before August, you can still enjoy highlights from the exhibit in a slide show (Flash player required).
