Be among the first to see Scent and the Art of the Pre-Raphaelites. Book a free space at our public launch party and join us for a drink to celebrate the start of the exhibition.

This groundbreaking show features some of the most iconic works by Pre-Raphaelite painters in public and private collections across the UK, including Tate, the Ashmolean, Oxford, and Birmingham Museums.

Besides masterpieces by well-known artists like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir John Everett Millais and John William Waterhouse, the exhibition will showcase spectacular works by less familiar names of the period, such as Evelyn de Morgan, Anna Alma-Tadema and Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale.

Developed in collaboration with storytelling art-curators Artphilia, this is the first public UK exhibition to feature the unique AirParfum technology developed by Puig, the Spanish fashion and fragrance house, which will help bring to life two key paintings with custom-designed scents.
