Even though it was supposed to be off exhibit on January 10th, this beautiful Triptych was still available to be viewed by the public in the grand rotunda. It's on loan from the National Museum of Abruzzo, Italy. Known as the Beffi Tritych, it's exhibition came after the 5.3 earthquake in L'Aquila back in April. The work suffered a few minor scratches which were conserved at the NGA, and in appreciation the Abruzzo museum allowed us to appreciate it for the first time in history. It's a gorgeous work of devotion and art.
