RDS Art Collection Tours

RDS Art Collection Tours

We’re delighted to let you know that the RDS is opening its Treasures Collection to small group tours from 21 October every Thursday at 2pm and 3.30pm.

Visitors will be treated to a guided snoop around the RDS Council Chamber, where they’ll have a rare opportunity to meet some of the Society’s past presidents and professors. Formal introductions to our paterfamilias and other esteemed personages will be made in the Members’ Club, and there’ll be a few more saints, scholars and scamps along the way – and maybe even a soupçon of scandal.

There’s much more, of course, but we don’t like to namedrop – so we won’t mention our Lavery, the Pursers, our Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, the Barrets, the Van Nosts, our two Orpens …

The tour, suitable for all ages, will run weekly from Thursday 21st October at 2pm and 3.30pm.
