Monumental Sculpture from Renaissance Florence - Ghiberti, Nanni di Banco & Verocchio

This exhibition continues at the National Gallery in Washington, DC until 2/26/06. It presents works of the above-mentioned sculptors, which once graced the exterior of Orsanmichele in Florence. The sculptures have not been visible for many years due to an extensive cleaning and restoration.
This exhibition will enable the visitor to see sculptures close-up and be able to examine them well. It seems like a very exciting show to me.

However, I have one question. Does anyone know if they will be returned to their original locations in the niches of Orsanmichele or will they be brought indoors for protection from the elements?

Grazie.
