A Display of Georgian Portraits: Seeing is Believing.
On loan from the Holburne Museum in Bath it traces the development of Georgian Portraiture in Britain.
It examines the shift in the purpose of portraits from symbols of success and status, to a new era of realism and glamour. Coinciding with the launch of this display will be a Georgian weekend, with a whole host of historical events and activities for all ages.
