Organised by Art UK
Art Unlocked is a new online event series brought to you by Art UK in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. Each week, different museum and gallery curators and directors from across the UK will deliver a 30-minute talk on selected works from their collection.
For our latest talk, join Art UK and Caro Howell, Director of the Foundling Museum, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this London collection on 11th August 2021, 5:30pm (BST).
Art Unlocked is delivered over Zoom Webinar. You will be sent the link to join a few days before the talk is scheduled to take place. There will be a short Q&A session after the talk.
The talk is free but there is the option to donate to Art UK and the Foundling Museum alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated and go towards supporting the UK's national collection.
About the Foundling Museum
Our Collections tell the story of the Foundling Hospital, which continues today as the children's charity Coram. It is a story about the children who lived at the Hospital, how they came to be there, how they were looked after, and how the Hospital was established and run. It is also a story of how, from the very beginning, the Hospital was supported by London’s vibrant artistic community. The Collections span the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, and enable visitors to make connections between the past and the present. Many of the stories and themes are as relevant today as they ever were.
