2009-12-27T19:00:00.001Z

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.

He visited the major sites, including St Paul's, Oxford Street, Leicester Square and the Shell Building on the South Bank. Drawing on public and private collections nationally and internationally, the exhibition charts the early development of Auerbach's remarkable approach to painting, for which he is celebrated as one of Britain's greatest living artists.

Today the collection contains works by Hogarth, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Wilson, Hayman, Highmore, Roubiliac and Rysbrack, displayed in fully restored interiors as they would have been seen by visitors to the original Hospital in the 1700s.

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.

The Development of the Art Collection 1830-2007

2009-11-30T23:08:00.001Z

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

2009-11-30T10:08:00.001Z

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.

2009-11-29T13:10:00.001Z

Dates: 4.11.2009 to 7.3.2010. Ergonomics has been described as the science of everyday life.

The exhibition will show the impact of designers and manufacturers who have not accurately considered our ergonomic requirements - how the same design 'errors' that lead to you mistaking the hot tap for the cold one are the same, in principle, to those that can lead to an air traffic disaster or power station meltdown.
