Contractors renovating National Gallery wing find 1990 letter from donor praising removal of false columns

As a regular visitor to the gallery, I too am delighted that those columns are going; that space needed a serious rethink (although I adore the Sainsbury Wing in general - it achieves its main purposes incredibly well.) And the story is nicely amusing - a time capsule that actually had a purpose and one which has paid off.
