Six rites of the Roman Catholic Church: the procession of the Holy Oils; the blessing of the Holy Oils; a bishop is received during a visit to his diocese; the bishop's pastoral exhortation; the kissing of the bishop's hand and the bishop's lying in state. Etching after B. Picart.

Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
