What do you do, when four paintings, all showing the same biblical scene of Christ chasing moneylenders from the temple in Jerusalem; all apparently either made by or strongly influenced by the two famous 16th century artists Bosch and Bruegel turn up at museums in Copenhagen, Glasgow and Tallinn as well as at an auction in London?
If you are an art historian and/or expert you call your colleagues and put together an extensive research project on the four pieces. And then you exhibit the works of art as well as the findings of your research at the very same museums, using the latest in technology and story telling.

Until March 4th the four paintings as well as the results of the research process will be on display at Kadriorg Art Museum in Tallinn.
