Royal Geographical Society Visit

The visit will consist of a tour through the fine rooms. This will normally include the Main Hall (polar themed art and artefacts), Education Centre (platinum prints of Everest and a scale-model of Everest), Map Room (mapping past, present, and future themed art and artefacts), and Ambulatory (two seventeenth-century wall maps). We will also discuss the history of the house, designed by Richard Norman Shaw.

Finally the group will view a tabletop display of art (mainly watercolours and sketches) from the RGS archive, with an emphasis on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

If there is a specific person that you would like to see highlighted we can request this in advance.
