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.
