This volume chronicles the complex logistical operation to safeguard the National Gallery’s collection during the onset of the Second World War. Drawing on archival records and personal accounts, it details the clandestine evacuation of masterpieces to remote locations across Wales, examining the institutional resilience required to preserve Britain’s cultural heritage amidst the threat of aerial bombardment.
