Simon Schama's The Face Of Britain (UK-import)
Historian Simon Schama joins forces with National Portrait Gallery curators to create five new displays exploring the development, character and meanings of British portraiture. Staged throughout the Gallery, portraits from across the Collection will be displayed for the first time by theme rather than chronology, taking a long view of the history of portraits in each room. Each display will comprise a cross-period selection in various media, exploring one of the following themes: Power, Love, Fame, People and Self.
