The Painting:

Created in 1878 Sir John Everett Millais beautiful oil on canvas of Lily Langtry, Socialite, Actress, and former mistress of Bertie, Prince of Wales (King Edward VII) this painting has graced the walls of Jersey Museum for almost 100 years.

The Mystery

Recently, Jersey Heritage conservators removed the frame from the painting and made a startling discovery – it was a copy! Scandalous. WHERE is the original?

The Mission

Your mission if you choose to accept it is to unravel the cryptic clues to take you around our charming St Helier Streets in the footsteps of our Famous Detective Sergeant Jim Bergerac.
