Why rehang paintings?
Rehanging a gallery, like the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace, is a significant undertaking that allows curators to present artworks in new ways. It can highlight previously unseen pieces, create fresh dialogues between different works, or reflect new research. The 875 hours spent on this reorganisation show the careful planning involved in making the collection more accessible and engaging for visitors.
