This exhibition has closed

It closed on 13 September 2015. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at The British Museum: John Constable: views of nature, Declaring independence: USA 250, The Bayeux Tapestry.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
