• ... that the Bernward Doors (pictured), Romanesque bronze doors of the Hildesheim Cathedral, show scenes from the Book of Genesis left and from the life of Jesus right?

• Comment: This would be best on 14 August when the doors will open again, but that may take too long. We could consider to show just one detail - they are all on the commons - but the first-ever combination is what makes it special.

• If we waited till 14 August, then a DYK something like "... that the Bernward Doors reopen today" might be effective? Also, I've still got a bit of work to do on this one - I might not get around to it until the weekend. Furius (talk) 08:53, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
