From 13 to 27 April, our team will be carefully deinstalling Quentin Blake’s works as we prepare for a new exhibition.

During this period, there may be some temporary disruption across the galleries. Please note that there will be no access up and down the contemporary staircase. For health and safety reasons, this also means there will be no access to the lifts during this time.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience. We hope this part of the house will reopen sooner than planned, and we thank you for your understanding and patience while we prepare for what’s next.

We’ve loved sharing Quentin Blake’s joyful world with you, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon for the next chapter in our cultural programme.
