A visit to the Paul Mellon centre for Studies in British Art. The Centre was founded in 1970 and endowed by a gift from Paul Mellon. Since 1996, it has been situated at 16 Bedford Square in a Grade I listed building.

The building houses an outstanding library of 26,000 publications focused on British art and architecture, and over 25 collected archives which include papers of eminent art historians including Oliver Millar and Paul Joyce. The centre compiled its own photographic archive from 1970 to 1996 and now also holds the Tate photographic archive. All of these research collections are available to consult in the centre's Public Study Room

We will visit the Library and Archive and members of staff will give a talk about relevant items from the Collections with plenty of time for discussion and questions.
