The Wallace Collection, London
An exciting, immersive show filled with history and music that will breathe new life into the Wallace Collection and allow you to explore its galleries as you have never seen them before.
Paris, 1825. A frightened little boy is discovered alone and abandoned in a backstreet apartment. By 1890, this same boy will have become one of the world’s most distinguished art collectors and philanthropists: Sir Richard Wallace. Performed by a cast of actor-musicians in the galleries of one of London’s best kept secrets, The Collection is the true rags to riches story about the life of one of the Victorian era’s unsung artistic and charitable patrons, who left Britain the gift of one of its greatest artistic treasures: the Wallace Collection.
This is a promenade performance limited to 25 people per show, with no seating. Run time approximately one hour.
Tickets available now from the Wallace Collection website:
