V&A South Kensington, Cromwell Road, London
United Kingdom
6 March - 4 July 2010
This will be the first major exhibition on Horace Walpole, the most important English collector of the eighteenth century.
This exhibition will bring together many of Walpole's most remarkable objects.
Walpole was the first to systematically assemble the visual evidence of English history, and the first to recognise the importance of the portrait miniature to the history of British art.
This exhibition will recreate Walpole's pioneering collection in the context of the rooms at Strawberry Hill, where visitors experienced a journey through ancient and modern British history and European art.
