The Nelson-Atkins' stellar collection of early Northern paintings is getting a new, evocative display in the Cloister on the first floor of the 1933 building. Ten paintings from the 15th and 16th century are being installed in the 14th-century stone period room that sits directly off Rozzelle Court Restaurant.

Masterpieces including Virgin and Child in a Domestic Interior by Petrus Christus (above) and The Three Graces by Lucas Cranach the Elder will be back on view after several years out of the spotlight.

A full-color catalog of the German and Netherlandish Paintings collection is available in the Museum Store.
