Portrait Mode

To mark the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery this June, we're joining their celebration of all things portraiture in Portrait Mode. Galleries across the UK will be supporting the NPG by getting into Portrait Mode this summer to mark the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery on 22 June following a major transformation project.⁠

Portraiture is quite unlike other genres. The best of it admits us a view on a character for better or worse, a person who has played a decisive part in history, a society we don’t know or understand. All this quite apart from the sensory pleasure of the object itself. If you can, please visit us, and see these wonderful objects in person. We look forward to welcoming you.
