The Development of the Art Collection 1830-2007

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. You would expect a hospital 760 years old to have paintings of kings and queens, governors and benefactors. Indeed we do: our oldest is a portrait of King Henry VIII from the school of Holbein. But one hundred and fifty years ago we started to collect art by our patients. The core of the collection was started by two psychiatrists, Dr Eric Guttmann and Dr the Hon Walter Maclay who worked at the Maudsley Hospital in the 1930s. They were clearly influenced by the art of the insane. Guttmann was primarily interested in clinical research. Maclay, a wealthy man, collected for his private enjoyment, and his interest was an extension of his more general cultural pursuits.

The Royal Ballet: The Nutcracker

Dates: 26.11.2009 to 1.1.2010. With a wealth of famous melodies, seasonal favourite The Nutcracker is classical ballet at its most approachable and visually entrancing. Adapted from Hoffmann's story of Christmas Eve, it features a magician, an enchanted gift, a battle with the Mouse King, a guiding angel and a journey through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets! It all begins when young Clara creeps downstairs for one of her presents, but finds instead a night of magical adventures. The designs for this classic production recreate a 19th-century Christmas - but one where the Christmas tree magically grows and toy soldiers come to life to fight the Mouse King! The beautifully coloured imaginings of the fantasy Sugar Garden and its celebratory dances make a fabulous contrast - the Sugar Plum Fairy is just one of the delights here - as Peter Wright's production carries the story from its mysterious start to its happy conclusion.

The exhibition will look at two expeditions to the Arctic under Captain Edward Inglefield in 1854, and Captain George Nares in 1875-76. Both expeditions used photographic processes that were in their infancy, having been announced to the public only a few years before. Both processes involved a significant amount of bulky equipment and chemicals in order to develop the negatives. However, the technique used by Nares had a shorter exposure time allowing more photographs of the expedition activities to be recorded.

Sym phony in C is a vivid example of Balanchine's ability to portray the very essence of his chosen music, as the varying melodies, rhythms and textures of Bizet's youthful score are reflected magically in dance. Conductor: Chroma: Daniel Capps; Tryst: James MacMillan; Symphony in C: Dominic Grier. Choreography: Chroma: Wayne McGregor; Tryst: Christopher Wheeldon; Symphony in C: George Balanchine.

Changing the World

Dates: 1.1.2008 to 31.12.2009. This gallery explores the Army's role in the expansion and defence of the British Empire. From the global struggle against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France (1793-1815) through to the Boer War (1899-1902), is a period in which Britain rose to a dominant position among the European trading empires. This was an era of war and imperial expansion abroad and turbulent industrial and social change at home.

Dan Dare and the Birth of Hi-Tech Britain

Dates: 22.5.2008 to 25.10.2009. Dan Dare's rocket fleet roars high over Venus to trounce his arch foe - the power-mad Mekon. Meanwhile, back on Earth, another extraordinary future is unfolding - one which laid the foundation for Britain's hi-tech consumer society. After 1945, though war-weary and broke, Britain found huge pride in wartime advances such as radar, penicillin and the jet engine. Discoveries like these were now tipped to kick-start world-beating industries, bring prosperity and bankroll the emerging welfare state. In an age before globalisation, products from rockets to radios sprang from local roots. Together they reveal a fascinating 'lost world' of British design and invention - a glimpse of a time when the TV in the corner was a Murphy, not a Sony.
