The entrance corridor is cadenced by a display of three Flemish tapestries, with Stories of Constantine, woven by Geraert van der Strecken in the 1650s, as well as a set of educational panels and a multimedia programme about the cartoons of Abraham van Diepenbeeck, forming a crucial introduction to a tour of the Museum, underscoring as it does, the close bond with the Ambrosian Diocese.
The ticket-desk, the group reception area, the bookshop and the coffee bar are also located here.
