Free entry for Members

Ithell Colquhoun Alcove 1946 Private Collection © Spire Healthcare, © Noise Abatement Society, © Samaritans

Visit the exhibition during exclusive opening times

One of the most radical artists of her generation, Ithell Colquhoun was an important figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 1940s. An innovative writer and practicing occultist, Colquhoun charted her own course, investigating surrealist methods of unconscious picture-making and fearlessly delving into the realms of myth and magic.

Explore Colquhoun’s enthralling, multi-layered universe through writings, drawings, paintings, many of which have never been shown publicly before.

Make a night of it – after you’ve seen the exhibition, why not go for drinks in the Members Room? Don't forget to stop by the shop to use your discount too.
