Transport yourself to 1940s London.
Its priceless treasures evacuated for safekeeping, the Wallace Collection briefly served as a stage for cultural diplomacy. Artists joined forces to support the Allied cause and raise funds for the Red Cross.

The display complements our major exhibition ‘Winston Churchill: The Painter’, which opens on 23 May.
