Join Alexander Collins, Curator of Decorative Arts, and Timothy Evers, former Curatorial Administrator, as they discuss our new publication, The Wallace Collection: A Short History. Inspired by the visitor favourite The Founders of the Wallace Collection, this newly revised and reformatted volume brings the story up to date for today’s readers.
