Jon Snow takes us on a virtual tour around the East Wing project within the National Gallery. This 3D visualisation was used for fund raising and public awareness, enabling viewers to see the improvements before they were built. It was also valuable for the architects to see their designs come to life. The graphics also show how the National Gallery is part of the new designs for Trafalgar Square.
