Date and location: June 23, London
Following 3 years closure due to redevelopment projects, the National Portrait Gallery reopens its doors on June 23! Featuring a wider entrance and new spaces, the museum turns on the spotlight on many unknown works from its spectacular collection.
To inaugrate the rich museum’s program is the exhibition “Yevonde: life and colour”, featuring portraits by suffragette photographer Madame Yevonde, who pioneered the color photography technique in the 1930s (Jun 23 - Oct 15).
The new Blavatnik Wing (in the picture) will host more than 100 years of British portraits in nine galleries: from Charles Darwin to writers Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, the Brontë sisters and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, just to name a few. Enjoy your tour!
