SUMMARY:Picturing Hetty Feather (Exhibition runs from 26 May to 3rd September)
DESCRIPTION:This summer the Foundling Museum presents a new family-friendly exhibition exploring how Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s much-loved character Hetty Feather has brought the history of London’s Foundling Hospital to life. \nSince the first Hetty Feather book was published in 2008\, Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s series of novels has delighted young audiences with the adventures of its eponymous heroine\, the spirited Victorian foundling Hetty Feather. Selling millions of copies\, the books have led to an Olivier Award-nominated stage show and BAFTA-nominated CBBC television series. For her Foundling Fellowship at the Museum\, Wilson researched the history of the Foundling Hospital and developed the character of Hetty Feather\, a girl who uses imaginative storytelling or\, as she calls it\, ‘picturing’ to deal with life’s challenges. \nPicturing Hetty Feather explores the ways in which writers\, directors and designers have used historical evidence and factual gaps to bring the nineteenth-century Foundling Hospital to life. Find out about the real history of the Hospital\, discover how it inspired Dame Jacqueline Wilson to create the character of Hetty\, and explore how Hetty’s story has come to life as a stage show and television series. On display are props and original costumes from the CBBC Hetty Feather television set\, alongside unseen treasures from the Foundling Hospital Collection and archive. Try on costumes made for the CBBC production and use your imagination in a range of interactive activities. \nThis immersive exhibition transports visitors of all ages to the Foundling Hospital. Discover your own ‘picturing’ abilities in relation to the Foundling Hospital story\, and imagine what life was like for Hetty and the real-life foundling children. \nJoin the conversation #HettyFeatherExhib \nThe exhibition runs from 26 May 2017 — 03 Sep 2017.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: Russian Revolution at the British Library
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private breakfast views. It will be on this occasion hosted at the British Library. KQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive last chance look at Russian Revolution: Hope\, Tragedy\, Myths; the British Library’s new blockbuster exhibition. There will be a curatorial introduction by Katya Rogatchevskaia. \nAbout Russian Revolution: Hope\, Tragedy\, Myths \nFrom the fall of Russia’s last Tsar to the rise of the first communist state\, this definitive exhibition takes a fresh look at the Russian Revolution 100 years on. \nWith rarely seen items from both sides of the conflict – from a first edition of the Communist Manifesto to anti-Bolshevik propaganda – this is a unique chance to understand the lesser-known personal stories behind the events that changed the world. \nAlso on display for the first time\, from the British Library’s own archive: Lenin’s handwritten application for a Reader Pass. \nUniting the political and the personal\, explore the Russian Revolution’s central characters\, most notably Lenin and Trotsky\, alongside the tales of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Did events in Russia in 1917 transform the international landscape forever? Did they shape the world we live in today? \nBringing to life the hope\, tragedy and myths of this seismic revolution\, discover Russia 1917 – the biggest flame in a world on fire. \nRegistration: Please click here to book your place. \n#BLRussia1917
