Last Chance To See


*UPDATED* The showing of Titian's Diana and Actaeon at The National Gallery in London where it is paired with its companion work The Death of Actaeon has been extended to 14 December. Believe the hype and treat yourself to one of western art's most intelligently beautiful paintings.

The campaign to keep the work in Britain has been given considerable impetus by a £10m grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and a £1m pledge from The Art Fund. £50m has to be raised by 31 December or its private owner, the Duke of Sutherland, will sell the work on the open market.

Room 1, The National Gallery,
Trafalgar Square, WC2N 5DN.

Mon - Sun: 10am - 6pm; Wed until 9pm. Ends 14th December.
