How did some of the panels of the baptistry door appear in the Opera del Duomo?

I suppose you are talking about Florence without saying so. The last set of panels for the Baptistry doors, the Doors of Paradise, are the most valuable ones. They have recently been exchanged for copies and the originals are displayed in the museum "Opera del Duomo", where they are well guarded. An extra bonus is that visitors can watch them at close range there.


During what years did Ghiberti work on the Baptistry doors?

Ghiberti worked on his first set of doors 1403 - 1424 and the second (La Porta del Paradiso) 1425 - 1452. Since there was a set of doors by Andrea Pisano, finished in 1336, the ones by Ghiberti were the second and the third sets, thus enriching the Baptistry with beautifully sculpted doors in all the doorways.
