Rembrandt | Britain's Discovery of the Master
Britain’s love affair with one of history’s greatest artists is the subject of this exclusive new exhibition. It tells the story of how the taste for Rembrandt’s work was kindled in the early 18th century and grew into a mania that gripped collectors and art lovers across Britain. It also reveals the profound impact of Rembrandt’s art on the British imagination, by exploring the wide range of native artists whose work has been inspired by the Dutch master.

Emil Nolde | Colour is Life
From windswept landscapes to breathtaking figurative studies, we take a comprehensive overview of the varied and prolific career of Emil Nolde, one of Germany’s greatest expressionist artists.
Victoria Crowe | Beyond Likeness
In her portraits, Victoria Crowe aims to represent something of the inner life of her sitters - the experiences and preoccupations of the individuals depicted - the world of ideas and dreams. Something that is explored in this insightful display.
