Thursday Tour
5 March, 12:15–1 pm
 Join us for this free, lunch-hour exhibition tour. A friendly and informed community docent will meet you in the Atrium before the guided gallery tour.
In recognition of a number of spectacular acquisitions in recent years, From Tudor to Hanover: British Portraits, 1590–1800 investigates the evolution of the painted and printed portrait in Britain. The desire to fashion the self, record achievement and cultivate fame has appealed to British citizens since the early modern era.
