🇬🇧 ​​Where 900 Years of History Meets Cutting-Edge Art​​ ⛪🎨

Step into ​​St Bartholomew the Great​​ - London's ​​oldest surviving Norman church​​ (founded 1123!), where ancient stone whispers and ​​bold contemporary art​​ collide in the most magical way. ​​✨ What Makes It Special​​ • ​​"Slipping the Veil" Exhibition​​ featuring Damien Hirst (yes, that Hirst!) - his works actually make sense in this sacred context • ​​Modern Madonna & Child painting​​ (1999) - a Cubist-Picasso meets Modigliani masterpiece • ​​Groundbreaking sculpture​​ by Josefinina de Vasconcellos - the ​​first woman artist​​ ever displayed in a church! (Pro tip: The play of light through medieval windows on these modern works? Pure magic.) ​​⏳ Time-Travel Vibe​​ • ​​Norman arches​​ that’ve stood since 1140 • ​​Eerie quietness​​ that feels like suspended time • ​​Progressive spirit​​ - where else would you see a ​​Virgin Mary with Matisse vibes​​? 📍 ​​St Bartholomew the Great​​ 📌 West Smithfield, EC1A 9DS 🕒 Check website for exhibition dates #LondonHistory #SacredArt #NormanArchitecture #HiddenLondon
