  • The Industrial Revolution: 18-19Th C
    The Industrial Revolution: 18-19th c. Displaced from their farms by technological developments, the industrial laborers - many of them women and children – suffered miserable living and working conditions. Romanticism: late 18th c. - mid. 19th c. During the Industrial Revolution an intellectual and artistic hostility towards the new industrialization developed. This was known as the Romantic movement. The movement stressed the importance of nature in art and language, in contrast to machines and factories. • Interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote and the mysterious.

  • A Summer of British Festivals Featuring 3 Performances at the the Proms, 2 Operas at Glyndebourne and Shakespeare at Stratford and the Globe
    Australian Freephone: 1800 132 385 New Zealand Freephone: 0800 132 385 Email: [email protected] A Summer of British Festivals Featuring 3 performances at the The Proms, 2 operas at Glyndebourne and Shakespeare at Stratford and The Globe As Summer comes to England, our minds turn towards glorious Summer Festivals. The wonderful series of BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, a night out at the opera at Glyndebourne and, in the 450th anniversary year of Shakespeare’s birth, to the Summer performances of the bard at the RSC in Stratford and at the Globe in London. Our 14 night program combines these inspiring events into a summer symphony of culture and allows you to sit back and relax while enjoying some stunning performances of drama and music. However, our musical and dramatic pursuits do not prevent us from enjoying some of the best scenery England has to offer. Naturally, while in London, we enjoy a tour of the National Gallery with a specialist guide, we visit splendid Kew Palace and Gardens, enjoy a day out on the Thames at Windsor and Eton, visit Hampton Court Itinerary at a Glance and take advantage of the special Summer opening of Buckingham Site / Number of Nights Palace. We stay at Brighton, close to Glyndebourne, to visit the London - 4, Royal Pavilion and nearby Sissinghurst Gardens, as well as the Brighton - 3, quaint towns and villages of Kent and East Sussex, such as Stratford – 3, Tenterden and Rye. While in Stratford, not only do we visit the town of the Bard but also immerse ourselves in the history of London – 4.

  • Transcription of 3D Royal Pavilion Estate Commentary [PDF]
    Transcription of 3D and VR Pavilion Estate curatorial commentary Written and voiced by Alexandra Loske URL: http://brightonmuseums.org.uk/3DPavilion/ Royal Pavilion The Royal Pavilion was created between 1785 and 1823 by George, Prince of Wales who would later become Prince Regent and eventually King George IV. George first visited Brighton as a young man aged 21 in 1763 and soon after decided to make the seaside town his playground away from London. He rented a house on the site of the present Pavilion and in 1786 hired the architect Henry Holland to build him a ‘pavilion by the sea’. This first building on this site was a two-storey, symmetrical structure in a neo- classical style. It was elegant and sophisticated, but by no means exotic in appearance. George made alterations and changes to his pleasure palace throughout his life, gradually creating the outlandish and exuberant palace we see today -- although he never called it a palace. He mostly used it for lavish banquets and to stage great balls and concerts, and often spent several months at a time here. The greatest change to the exterior was made between 1815 and 1823, when the famous architect John Nash was hired to transform the neo-classical building into an oriental fantasy. The exterior we can see here was inspired by Indian architecture, with added Gothic elements. Nash added two large state rooms to the Pavilion on the north and south end, with tent-shaped roofs. The onion-shaped domes and ornamental features in the centre of the building were built around and on top of the existing building, using cast iron on a large scale.

  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)
    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.

  • Narrator: from Brighton, on the English South Coast, These Are the Voices of the Royal Pavilion & Museums, with Dr
    Narrator: From Brighton, on the English South Coast, these are the voices of the Royal Pavilion & Museums, with Dr. Sophie Frost. Sophie: Hello! I'm Sophie, and I've spent the past 9 months wandering the corridors of the Royal Pavilion & Museums in Brighton & Hove - otherwise known as RPM - uncovering the stories of the museum people who keep Brighton's historic buildings and collections relevant, vibrant, and accessible for the world we're living in. Sophie: In this episode I'm joined by Marcus Bagshaw, Sue Winkett, Clare Hartfield, and Zak Flannery, who all work in the Visitor Services team at Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton and Hove. As we discovered last time, schemes such as the Workforce Development programme provoked a family feel across the workforce at RPM. In what follows, we'll see how the enthusiasm and expertise of different frontline staff provides a collective energy that keeps RPM's objects, buildings, and collections, alive for its visitors. Marcus: My name is Marcus Bagshaw and I'm what they call a Visitor Services Officer - basically front-of-house. The role is all-encompassing - it's not just the one thing - we get involved in many different elements of customer service. And, I think one of the main reasons we are there, is to embellish the customer experience - provide just that little bit more information that they might not get, ordinarily. So, that means that we do get into some very interesting conversations, long and short. And, of course, working in a place like the Royal Pavilion - visitors are never short of questions.
