RWA Collection Tour
Wednesday 30 July 1.30 - 3pm
Are you interested in the history of the RWA's historic collection? For the first time, the RWA are opening its collection doors.... join our Curatorial and Technical Manager Tristan Pollard for a behind the scenes, exclusive tour.
Tristan will pull out some of our most significant and interesting works to show you, leading you through the fascinating history of the RWA, as well as its future direction, before inviting you to view our collection store.
The RWA does not have a permanent collection on show, and works may only make an appearance for certain exhibitions - this is your exclusive chance to see what treasures are hidden away.
