Join international academics and Wallace Collection curators and conservators to discover more about our fascinating works of art and their backstories.

Each month (with the exception of August and December), our History of Collecting seminar series, supported by Bonhams, hosts a lecture by a specialist in the field of collecting history. Established in 2006, this series is dedicated to promoting new research in the field, with a particular emphasis on collectors and collecting in 18th- and 19th-century Paris and London. 

Bonhams Auctioneers has shown its commitment to the history of collecting, accessibility and academic excellence by sponsoring the Wallace Collection’s free seminar series. We know the seminars will continue to thrive and reach new audiences with their support.
