Jacques Henri Lartigue: Life in Colour

20 June - 4 October 2026

This is the first UK public exhibition of Lartigue’s work for over 10 years. It focuses on an exceptional and little-known aspect of his work: until recently, the majority of his colour photographs had never been seen. The exhibition features more than 150 items including early stereoscopic images producing three-dimensional effects, vintage prints, unique works on paper, archival documents, lightboxes and projections. It also showcases Lartigue’s career from drawings made as a child in the 1900s to the fashion world of the 1960s and late abstractions of the 1980s.

Exhibition organized in collaboration with the Association des Amis de Jacques Henri Lartigue, Ministère de la Culture, France and diChroma photography.

Keith Jarrett’s iconic January 1975 performance nearly never happened.

From securing the venue and selling tickets to persuading Jarrett to perform when the promised Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano is missing, Vera’s determination is tested at every turn.

L.S. Lowry

24 October 2026 - 28 February 2027

This significant solo exhibition of the work of Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887 – 1976) marks the 50th anniversary of the painter’s death, and 13 years since his last significant institutional temporary exhibition Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life at Tate Britain. Lowry was a British painter, best known for his industrial landscapes of northwest England.

An extremely popular artist in Britain whose work outside the iconic industrial scenes remains little known. This exhibition aims to provide an overview of all his themes and subjects, from landscapes and seascapes to portraits and surreal imaginings. Lowry’s career ran alongside huge changes in British society which saw the workers, mills, terraced housing and urban landscapes he painted bombed, cleared and replaced. All these themes will be explored within the show.
