Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill

Dates: 6.3.2010 to 4.7.2010. This is the first major exhibition on Horace Walpole, the most important English collector of the 18th century, and brings together many of his 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 recreates 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.
