Case consistency (room numbers)

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

@14GTR: The V&A uses uppercase in some instances, while in others, they use lowercase (e.g., 46A^[1] vs. 46b^[2]). This is true not only on their Digital Map, but also in various other places on their website.^[3] Do you have any insight as to which is correct?

Lübeck relief of "Christ washing the Apostles' feet" claim

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article makes the claim that the original Lübeck relief of Christ washing the Apostles' feet" has been destroyed (which is also supported by the V&A reference source), yet we have a number of photographs on Commons of what appears to be the same work in Lübeck, and our article on the church lists the piece amongst mediaeval artefacts that remain (see interiors section). Presumably the version in the church is a recreation? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:56, 15 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Fig leaf

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments1 person in discussion

In the reign of Queen Victoria, displays of male nudity was contentious and the Queen herself was said to find it shocking. The museum commissioned this fig leaf and kept it in readiness in case of a visit by the Queen or other female dignitary: the fig leaf was then hung on the figure using a pair of hooks. Today, the fig leaf is no longer used, but it is displayed in a case at the back of the cast's plinth.^[1]
