Have you ever seen altar figures so close? It is actually impossible for visitors. But now you have an opportunity to see it on video at least. Thanks Lund Cathedral for this amazing film! By the way, it is renovating and cleaning time in the Cathedral nowadays. It is open as usual just the altar part is occupied by renovators. Soon we will witness results of this work. Welcome to Lund! #destination_lund #Repost Lunds domkyrka with @get_repost ・・・ Så nära får ingen gåååå! Utom våra följare som får se altartavlan så här nära när konservatorn rengör den från damm och avgasrester. Första helgonfiguren i filmen är original och den andra är ditflyttad från en annan altartavla. Visst är det lite skillnad på stilen? 😉#lundsdomkyrka #lundcathedral #konservering #svenskakyrkan #byggnadsvård #medieval #medeltid #kulturarvet #absiden2019
