A short museum talk titled Metamorphoses: The Swing, held in The Study at the museum and spoken by Shahina Chung. It is part of a November programme discovering the connections between Rachel Kneebone's sculptures and works from the Wallace Collection. It explores the relationship between Kneebone's newly created Bower and Fragonard's The Swing, looking at how both artists use movement and sensuality to draw viewers into imaginative worlds that blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Places are limited and allocated first-come, first-served on the day.
