We are delighted to announce that our new exhibition Embellishment in Fashion at Hampton Court Palace is now open.

Throughout the years, both professional and amateur dressmakers have used embroidery and beading to embellish garments and accessories. This exciting new display from the RSN’s unique Textile Collection captures the style and versatility of embroidery and embellishment from the 18th to 21st centuries. It will showcase a wide range of pieces from blouses and men’s waistcoats to purses, gloves and shoes.

We enjoyed the exhibition greatly and, as usual, were overwhelmed by the beauty of the objects on display as well as appreciating the skill involved.

Tours

There are different Tour options to suit all interests including Talk & Tours, Tour & Taster workshops; as well as Curator’s Tours that include rare insights to additional pieces from the RSN Collection.

We also offer bespoke Group Tours.  Tours start from £16 per person and the exhibition runs until March 2018.
