The Nation's Mantelpiece
Traces the development of an institution whose superlative collections often set the pace in art history, but whose dependence on parliamentary funding regularly implicated it in debates surrounding education, social cohesion and national heritage. This work is illustrated with a selection of architectural plans, cartoons and other images.
