Fra Angelico to Leonardo at the British Museum

Event: Fra Angelico to Leonardo: Italian Renaissance Drawings
Date: April 22nd to July 25th

The British Museum and the luxury London hotel the Montague on the Gardens is a marriage made in heaven.

Located just a stone's throw from one another, they are shining examples of the capital's top-quality accommodation and cultural attractions.

In late April, the museum will open its second major exhibition of the year.

Fra Angelico to Leonardo – Italian Renaissance Drawings will give art lovers the chance to see works from the likes of Raphael, Michelangelo and Verrochio.

The exhibition, which is a joint collaboration with the Uffizi in Florence, will explore the fundamental shift in style and artistic thinking in the use of preparatory drawings in 15th-century Italy.

It presents a unique opportunity for art lovers to discover the evolution of drawing and how this pivotal change in approach shaped painters, sculptors and architects in later years.

When the day comes to a close, visitors can make the short journey back to the Montague and enjoy the delights of the Art and Culture at the British Museum package.

The deal includes two nights accommodation, a full English breakfast each day, two tickets to an exhibition of choice and traditional afternoon tea for two.
