"Adoration of the Magi" at UV Art Museum sounds like an Easter Story
THE DAILY PROGRESS
By: David Maurer
VIRGINIA - After traveling thousands of miles, the 600-pound shipping case arrived at the University of Virginia Art Museum. Meticulously fitted inside was “The Adoration of the Magi,” the priceless 14th-century altarpiece painting by Italian master Bartolo di Fredi. For two days the case remained unopened in the main floor gallery, giving the contents time to settle. On the third day the case was raised gently into the proper upright position for disassembly. Bruce Boucher, director of the art museum, watched as the screws from the outer and inner cases were unfastened. [link]
