The exhibition arrived at the Pushkin Museum in crated boxes. | ![Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition](../images/img_1/Mosco002.jpg) |
The crates were moved into position in the great hall, before unpacking for display | ![Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition](../images/img_1/Mosco003.jpg) |
Each panel was unpacked, photographed and condition reported before installation. | ![Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition](../images/img_1/Mosco004.jpg) |
The windows are by Edward Burne Jones / William Morris & Co, and depict two beautiful angels playing musical instruments. | ![Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition](../images/img_1/Mosco005.jpg) |
