Enjoy an evening tour and private view of this highly anticipated exhibition

Take this opportunity to hear about this impressive exhibition, from the Curator James Finch and Assistant Curator Chiedza Mhondoro.

Explore over 60 of Sargent's paintings alongside period garments which can be seen next to the portraits they were worn in.

Learn about how Sargent used fashion as a tool to express identity and personality. And discover his daring use of styling costumes on his sitters to emphasise his vision as an artist.

The show examines how this remarkable painter used fashion to create portraits of the time, which still captivate today.

Following the tour participants will have the opportunity for a private view of the exhibition.
