Friday 1 FebruaryBurgh House - Constable: 200 Years in HampsteadSee full details...
FREE ENTRY.
John Constable’s love of Hampstead and the Heath is largely overlooked but, as the second centenary of his first visit here approaches, this six month exhibition will redress the balance, thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. We will be showing seven of Constable’s original works on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, just steps from the breathtaking views that inspired them. This will be a rare opportunity to see these iconic pieces in their natural home.
Heard about our Constable Scramble to riase funds for the House? Well we made it back and it's not too late to donate!
