The Foundling Museum explores the history of the Foundling Hospital, the UK’s first children’s charity and first public art gallery. We aim to inspire everyone to make a positive contribution to society, by celebrating the power of individuals and the arts to change lives.
The Picture Gallery will be closed from 21 August – 20 September as we prepare for the opening of our next exhibition. A small selection of key works, including William Hogarth’s portrait of Thomas Coram, will be on display on the first floor.
