Exploring Interiors: Decoration of the Home 1900-1960

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. Exploring Interiors asks what our living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens were like in the first half of the twentieth century, and why. The displays show fabrics and wallpapers, from expensive designs in the most up-to-date styles to cheaper, popular patterns for the mass market. They offer a taste of the sort of choices that were available at the time. Catalogues give a glimpse of the fixtures and fittings, the furniture and furnishings that could be bought in the shops. Advertisements and magazines highlight the newest household equipment and reveal changing attitudes to the home and domestic life. But, at the same time, Exploring Interiors uses the evocative evidence of photographs and personal commentary to find out what people's homes were really like. And, more often than not, they were very different from the impression given by advertisements, catalogues and magazines.

The Royal Ballet: Chroma + Tryst + Symphony in C

Dates: 22.5.2010 to 11.6.2010. Chroma pushes the dancers to their physical limits through McGregor's astonishing and demanding choreography and is set to spine-tingling music from Joby Talbot and the White Stripes. Tryst is an orchestral tour de force comprising five sharply defined modes, from the brassy, action-packed challenge of the outer sections, through quieter Celtic wistfulness and an iridescent central section for strings. 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.

Business History Objects

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. All of the collections reflect the development of the postal service but this section tells you about those which also illustrate the history of the Post Office and Royal Mail as a business. Our collection illustrates the changing face of Royal Mail from its conception in 1635 until the present day. In 1635 King Charles I as King of England opened up his private mail carrying service for use by the public. It became known as The Royal Mail. That service developed over the 370 years since then into the company we know today. In that time, despite many changes, Royal Mail has always maintained a public presence that is instantly recognisable, most particularly with the GPO, The Post Office and Royal Mail.
