Sir Richard Wallace: The Collector - Exhibition Video Trailer

In June 2018, the Wallace Collection opened its new £1.2 million exhibition space with Sir Richard Wallace: The Collector, an exhibition celebrating 200 years since the birth of the museum’s founder, Sir Richard Wallace. Open from Wednesday 20th June, 2018 - Sunday 6th January, 2019, the exhibition explored the man, his life and his unprecedented contribution to the nation’s cultural heritage. The supposed illegitimate son of the Fourth Marquess of Hertford, Sir Richard Wallace unexpectedly inherited the Marquess’s dazzling collection of art, an act which was to change the direction of his own life and that of the masterpieces in his care.
