About This Event

On the last day of the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour loan of Pierre Mignard's The Marquise de Seignelay, the drop-in Open Studio session (11.30am to 3pm in the learning room) is a collaborative Mignard-themed collage, with families adding to one big mural using a variety of art materials. No booking is needed. The morning starts with a free Express Yourself movement session at 9.30am, using slow movement to interpret the painting, followed by a free Slow Looking session at 10.20am. Each is limited to ten people and must be booked in advance.
