Last year ‘het Lam Gods' (Adoration of the Mystic Lamb) underwent a thorough examination, thanks to the support of The Getty Foundation. The world-famous artwork turned out to be in a far worse condition than previously thought. The climate in the glass construction is terrible, the layers of varnish need to be removed and the panels are in a worrisome state. Attend the lecture by Anne van Grevenstein-Kruse (University of Amsterdam). She will lead the restoration of ‘het Lam Gods', a project that will take five years and will cost 1.4 million Euros.

In the context of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the magazine Openbaar Kunstbezit in Vlaanderen and Open Monumentendag, in collaboration with deBuren
