Michelangelo’s David returns to court
On 29 November 2014, the Victoria and Albert Museum’s newly renovated Italian Cast Court – renamed the Weston Cast Court – reopened to the public. When ChromeRadio was recording Mr Cole comes to Kensington last year for BBC Radio 4, restoration was still in full swing. But we did manage to persuade Dr Marjorie Trusted, Senior Curator of Sculpture, to give us an interview. She told us about the V&A’s magnificent David.
