-Stonehenge concealed [[The Pandorica]], A prison box designed by [[Pandorica Alliance|The Pandorica Alliance]] to contain [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]]. The Stones were secretly transmitters that broadcast a signal everywhere, throughout time saying "The Pandorica is opening".

+Stonehenge concealed [[the Pandorica]], a prison box designed by the [[Pandorica Alliance]] to contain the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. The [[stone]]s were secretly transmitters that broadcast a signal everywhere, throughout time, saying "the Pandorica is opening". Vincent van Gogh heard the transmissions in his dreams and painted ''The Pandorica Opens''.
+The painting remained undiscovered behind a wall in an attic in [[France]] until [[1941]], when it came to the attention of [[Professor]] [[Edwin Bracewell]]. Bracewell took it to [[Winston Churchill]], and the two recognised it as a message to [[the Doctor]]. Churchill phoned the Doctor to alert him, but the call was diverted to [[River Song]] in the year [[5145]], alerting her of its existence. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Pandorica Opens (TV story)}})
+In the [[2010s]], the painting may have been in the [[Under Gallery]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (game)}})
+In the year [[3110]], the painting was hung in the [[Musée d'Orsay]] before being given to the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The War of Art (DW short story)}})
+In the [[52nd century]], River escaped from the [[Stormcage Containment Facility]] in which she was being held, and went in search of the painting. She located it in the [[Royal Collection]], where she tried to steal it to deliver to the Doctor. She was confronted by [[Liz 10]] but was allowed to leave when she explained the nature of the painting to the Queen. River then met with - and blackmailed - [[Dorium Maldovar]] to get hold of a [[River Song's vortex manipulator|vortex manipulator]]. Using the vortex manipulator, she [[Time travel|time-travelled]] to [[Planet One]] and wrote "HELLO SWEETIE ΘΣ Φ ΓΥΔϟ", and the temporal co-ordinates for [[Britain]], 102 AD. There, she gave the Doctor and Amy the painting. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Pandorica Opens (TV story)}})
