Exhibitions currently running:
A Rake Revisited: Henry Hudson at the Soane - A selection of Henry Hudson’s large-scale 'paintings' in plasticine of William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress will be exhibited at Sir John Soane’s Museum from Friday 2 December 2011 until Saturday 28 January 2012. Soane purchased Hogarth’s remarkable series of satirical paintings, A Rake’s Progress, in 1802 and hung them in his extraordinary Picture Room. The eight canvases, depict the hapless story of Tom Rakewell, starting with The Heir where he comes into his inheritance and ending with The Madhouse where the Rake ends his days. Until 25 February.
Stadia: Sport and Vision in Architecture - From the religious sporting competitions of ancient Greece and the often bloody games of the imperial Roman circus through to the modern sporting arena the stadium has inspired architects to create some of the largest and most technically accomplished buildings ever created. The great monuments of the classical past, such as the Coliseum, Rome, or the Hippodrome, Constantinople (Istanbul), have fascinated architects from the 15th century onwards. From 6 July until 22 September.
