Join Alexander Collins, Curator of Decorative Arts, and Timothy Evers, former Curatorial Administrator, as they discuss our new publication, The Wallace Collection: A Short History. Inspired by the visitor favourite The Founders of the Wallace Collection, this newly revised and reformatted volume brings the story up to date for today’s readers.
From amusing anecdotes to surprising new discoveries, learn how digging deeper into the lives of the inspiring and often eccentric founders of the Wallace Collection gives us a better understanding the collection as we know it today.
