Our latest exhibition RED is now open to the public until 13th October this year at our School in London. Through the use of half- and full-sized reconstructions and images of 15th, 16th and 17th century portraits, the exhibition aims to bring our Renaissance textile collection to life and explore their original lives as items of both secular and religious dress and furnishing.

Admission is free but donations are very welcome.
Our books, postcards and posters will be for sale.
