The Wallace Collection, Hertford House, Oxford Street, W1U 3BN
Exhibitions: , Art, Museum, Collection, Antiques
How Much:
Free!
What a wonderful idea. For the first time ever, a national museum has invited a group of children to curate an exhibition. Children from nearby St Vincent's Catholic Primary have delved into the eclectic and fascinating Wallace Collection in order to present an exhibitition at the venerable institution this February and March.
Themed around ideas of secrecy and discovery, the exhibition features a wide array of stunning pieces, including an 18th century snuff box, an elegant French writing desk and Nicolas Maes' enchanting painting The Listening Housewife.
Given the way in which children always approach things with a fresh and ever-questioning attitude, this seems like a brilliant way in which to open up the marvellous (but occasionally a tad intimidating) Wallace Collection to a whole new audience.
Until 28.03.10.
