Join art historian Maryanne Saunders for a unique guided visit to the National Gallery and St Paul’s Cathedral. Moving between gallery and cathedral, the sacred and the secular, Maryanne will help us unpick the relationship between art and space. From liturgical pieces in the National Gallery to contemporary artworks in St Paul’s Cathedral, this tour will delve into centuries of artistic tradition, inspiring wonder and reflection for us today in two of London’s most iconic spaces.
