The National Gallery, home of the nation's Old Masters, is about to exhibit its first contemporary art installation, by recreating a street scene from Amsterdam's Red Light district.
"The Hoerengracht" - which is Dutch for Whore's Canal - was made in the 1980s by the American artists Ed and Nancy Kienholz.
Here, we take a look at how the installation is put together at - and hear from Nancy Kienholz, and the National Gallery's Head of Education, Colin Wiggins.
