Orb hailed a success as York Minster reports succesful final quarter to 2012
York Minster’s ‘Dome of Discovery’ has proved highly attractive to visitors to York in the last three months of 2012, with figures revealed today by York Minster showing a 21% increase in leisure visitors compared to 2011.
The Orb, which features five restored panels from the Great East Window, opened at the end of October in York Minster’s East End, to provide visitors with the opportunity to see these world-class works of medieval art up close, before they are returned to the window in 2015. The striking metallic dome is credited for prompting the increase in visitors to York Minster,
