Georgian Gallery Tour with Joseph Bruce

Join CMA trustee Joseph Bruce for a tour of the CMA’s new Georgian gallery, the first period gallery in the museum’s 75-year history. Focused on art from the Georgian era, a period in British history from 1714 to 1837, this extraordinary space is anchored by a recent major gift of New Hall porcelain from Bruce himself. Immerse yourself in the elegance and charm of this essential chapter in British decorative arts and cultural history. Discover Chinese export porcelain made for the British market, a recently conserved 18th-century portrait, and a rare gaming table — all set against a backdrop of period-correct wallpaper. 

Free with membership or admission. Join today!
