Why do some museum exhibitions achieve legendary status? Why are some shows still talked and thought about long after they are over? From Tutankhamen (1972) to Francis Bacon (1988), from the Surrealists exhibition (1923) to Sensation (1997), in every episode I discuss a show that changed everything with an expert.

S1: E5 Seeing Salvation, 2000

In this episode, guest Dr Xavier Bray, director of the Wallace Collection, describes the surprise hit exhibition in London in 2000: Seeing Salvation, Image of Christ, at the National Gallery. He shares his memories of being an assistant (and very junior) curator of the show and explains why images of Christ still resonate and matter. He talks about the impact of art on us and suggests what sort of exhibition the world perhaps needs at this troubled time.
