Interest in Pre-Raphaelite art has enjoyed something of a resurgence over recent years, with the National Portrait Gallery’s 2019 re-consideration of the contribution made by women and now Tate Britain’s exhibition re-evaluating the artistic legacy of three of the Rossettis. Our understanding of Pre-Raphaelite art is undergoing something of a paradigm shift. Using examples of works by eminent Pre-Raphaelites from the museum’s own collection, ProArtium will overlay new scholarship with popular favourites by Burne-Jones, Holman Hunt and others.

Join us for our popular hands-on and fun pre-school sessions for the under-fives. Explore the museum through stories, music, art and craft activities whilst making new friends and creating memories in an engaging and family friendly environment. These sessions are for pre-school children (from 2.5 to 5 years) and their parents and carers. Held on Friday mornings during term time with a different theme each week. Refreshments are included and booking essential as places are limited.
