About this place

Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan (until ) – The most complete display of Leonardo’s rare surviving paintings ever held, this unprecedented exhibition – the first of its kind anywhere in the world – brings together sensational international loans never before seen in the UK.

Turner Inspired: In the Light of Claude (14 March – 5 June) – Of all the Old Masters, Turner admired Claude the most, enthusing about the quality of light in the artist's Italian landscapes. This exhibition brings together closely related works by Turner and Claude. Many of these paintings share the same theme, giving visitors a chance to fully appreciate the enormous influence of Claude's mastery of light and landscape on Turner – from his formative years until the end of his life.

Although Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is one of London's most famous landmarks, few people know of Nelson's "Spare Nose". This pink nose can be found just off the square under one of the road arches of Admiralty Arch, but you have to look hard to find it.
