The Big Review | The reopening and rehang of the Sainsbury Wing, National Gallery, London ★★★★★

The National Gallery in London has reopened its Sainsbury Wing after a renovation led by architect Annabelle Selldorf, designed to create a more welcoming entrance. The wing, originally designed by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown in 1991, now features a transformed ground floor with double-height spaces, improved lighting, and a new piazza linking to Trafalgar Square. The reopening coincides with the gallery's bicentenary and a major collection rehang titled "C C Land: the Wonder of Art," sponsored by a Hong Kong property developer. Old favorites like the chapel-like space for Piero della Francesca's works are restored, and new commissions, including Richard Long's "Mud Sun," greet visitors.

What’s on now at San Francisco museums, April 2026

San Francisco’s museum landscape is undergoing a significant shift this April, anchored by the major reinstallation "Reimagined: The Fisher Collection at 10" at SFMOMA. The exhibition marks a decade of the museum's partnership with the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection, featuring works by Alexander Calder, Sol LeWitt, and Roy Lichtenstein across multiple floors. While the city celebrates these high-profile openings and the announcement of SECA Art Award finalists, the local scene faces challenges as the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts has suspended operations due to institutional difficulties.
