Revealed through a selection of rare drawings, Michelangelo: Quest for Genius tells the story of Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti (b. 1475) and the frustrations of his creative process. The exhibition centers on a loan of 28 drawings from the Casa Buonarroti, Florence, whose collection is formed from Michelangelo’s own. The exhibition runs from October 18 to January 11.
