The Classical Now – now open!
We were delighted, on Friday 2 March 2018, to open the doors of The Classical Now exhibition – which runs at King’s College London until 28 April.
The Classical Now is the largest exhibition ever staged at King’s. We have over 50 works, ranging from antiquities (pottery, mosaic, bronze bust and marble statuette), through works by the likes of Picasso, Henry Moore and André Derain, right up to pieces by contemporary artists such as Damien Hirst, Alex Israel, Louise Lawler, Grayson Perry and Rachel Whiteread. The show is so big that we’ve had to split it across two sites – The Arcade at Bush House (King’s College London, Strand, WC2B 4PJ), and the Inigo Rooms in Somerset House (King’s College London, Strand, WC2R 2LS).
The exhibition is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11am to 5pm. What’s more, admission is free – and open to all. Alongside the exhibition itself, we’ve organised an extensive cultural programme of events and festivities, some of them timed to coincide with the Association for Art History Annual Conference from 5-7 April 2018. We hugely hope you’ll be part of #TheClassicalNow, and look forward to welcoming you at King’s!
