Our curators and team of specialists have been busy installing over 200 objects for our #SicilyExhibition, which opens this Thursday! Here’s a first look at this beautiful Norman mosaic arriving at the Museum.
This mosaic, depicting the Virgin Mary, is all that remains of the extensive mosaics that once decorated Palermo Cathedral. Norman Sicily was a centre of multiculturalism and its art reveals a unique mix of influences. The Norman kings invited Byzantine mosaicists from Constantinople to decorate their cathedrals and palaces. Spectacular golden mosaics can still be found in Sicily: in Roger II’s palace chapel and the cathedrals at Cefalù and Monreale.
