    'Ladies of Quality and Distinction', Foundling Museum, 21 September

    ‘Ladies of Quality and Distinction’, Foundling Museum, 21 September 2018–20 January 2019 Reviewed by Maria Alambritis (Birkbeck, University of London, and National Gallery, UK) The absence of a single man in a gallery hung with portraits of influential historic figures is an enlivening, if slightly surreal, experience. While the lives and painted likenesses of history’s ‘great men’ still dominate the narratives of many of London’s public and cultural institutions, the Foundling Museum presents an exemplary demonstration of how much we have yet to uncover. Following a successful campaign by Art Happens, the Art Fund’s crowdfunding platform, this exhibition brings to light for the first time the women who were intrinsic to the establishment and running of the Foundling Hospital, illuminating the stories and contributions of women who operated at every level of society to ensure the Hospital’s success. Hung in the place of the male governors who are usually to be found in the Foundling Museum’s Picture Gallery are now twenty-one portraits of women, all of whom were crucial to the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. In a re-examination of their 300-year history, the museum has brought to light the influential role of women such as Charlotte Seymour, Duchess of Somerset (1693—1773), and Dorothy Boyle, Countess of Burlington (1699—1758), who signed Thomas Coram’s (c. 1668— 1751) first petition calling for the founding of a hospital for the care of London’s orphaned and destitute infants. Coram, a seaman, was horrified at the number of children left destitute and abandoned on London’s streets, exceeding 1000 infants a year.

    Schools' Resource

    ProGRESS William Hogarth - The Rake’s Progress (Parts 1, 4 and 8), 1733 WILLIAM HOGarth: William Hogarth (1697 - 1764) was popular with both artists and the public. He was a keen supporter of the Foundling Hospital and set up the country’s first public art gallery at the Hospital to promote British artists and to bring in wealthy people who would in turn support the Hospital. The ‘Progress’ exhibition and this resource explore how Hogarth’s work continued to inspire future generations. His series of paintings, A Rake’s Progress, explores themes of lust, money and greed through a story with strong morals in it. HOW THE RESOURCE WILL WORK: This resource has been written by artist Daniel Wallis to support teachers visiting the Foundling Museum’s exhibition ‘Progress’ and makes links to its permanent collection. The resource can be used as a tool to support teachers leading a session independently in the Museum, or used to accompany the artist-led workshops for which we have a charge of £90 per group (if you are coming on a self-guided visit please bring your own pencils and paper). It is advised that you read through all sections before starting to help with your knowledge of the exhibition and artists. The resource is designed for you to easily differentiate the questions and activities to suit your group. A guide amount of time is given for each section; the whole resource can be used to lead a session of up to 2 hours. NATIONAL CURRICULUM LINKS: The use of this resource, the Museum and the exhibition can be used to augment your teaching back in school, making links to Citizenship and Art & Design at KS2 and KS3 especially in these areas: • The roles played by public institutions in society.

  • Executive Summary

    Executive Summary

    Executive summary This evaluation report reflects on a pilot year for a proposed Migration Museums Network that ran from November 2016 to November 2017. The Migration Museum Project (MMP) coordinated this pilot to gauge the demand and need for a Network to increase and improve work on migration and related themes across the museums, heritage and arts sectors (hereafter ‘heritage sector’) in the UK. The aims of the Network were to raise awareness of the growth of work on the important theme of migration, to share best practice and create opportunities for increased learning and collaboration. The pilot was supported by Arts Council England and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, and aligns with MMP’s aim of creating a permanent home for the Migration Museum in London, whilst learning from and supporting work on migration themes across the UK. The pilot was guided at all stages by a steering group that met regularly. At the outset it was agreed that the main goals of the pilot would be to: § Update existing scoping research conducted in 2009 by IPPR that mapped representation of migration themes across the heritage sector § Conduct a wide-reaching online survey to contribute to this research and gauge interest in the Network; and § Coordinate two events, in London and Newcastle, to bring people together to learn and network This report will describe the main activities of the pilot, analyse feedback, critically assess MMP’s learning, and conclude with proposed next steps. 2 + Contents 1 Network highlights 2 Network aims 3 Initial research and steering
