A Morning Private View: Victorian Treasures at Leighton House

As part of Discover South Kensington’s programme of exclusive events for colleagues, Discover South Kensington and Leighton House would like to invite you to join us for a morning view of their exhibition Victorian Treasures from Cecil French and Scott Thomas Buckle on Thursday 17th July. The De Morgan Café at Leighton House will be open from 9.15am, with tea, coffee and pastries available for purchase.

Collecting some 70 years apart, Cecil French (1879-1953) and Scott Thomas Buckle both began acquiring Victorian art against the grain of fashionable taste. Both collections reflect their personal perspectives and interests, and this exhibition offers visitors an up-close look at the act and process of art collecting.

This event is part of a programme of exclusive events hosted by the cultural and educational venues in South Kensington. The events are free but numbers for this event are limited, so space will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. However, please do share this invitation with your colleagues. You will need to bring your staff pass or work ID with you. 

If you cannot join us on this occasion or if tickets have sold out and want to hear about future exclusive events for colleagues, please email Sarah Berresford at sarahb@exhibitionroad.com or sign up for our fortnightly newsletter here.
