Join us to experience a private tour of Henry Moore exhibition, at the prestigious Wallace Collection

Henry Moore: The Helmet Heads is the first major exhibition to explore the great twentieth-century British sculptor’s fascination with armour. Presented in collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, the exhibition uncovers the previously unknown role of specific helmets and armour from the Wallace Collection in influencing Moore’s ideas and creations. This is the first time that Moore’s helmet-related works, comprising over sixty sketches, drawings, maquettes and full-sized sculptures in plaster, lead and bronze, have been comprehensively assembled, to be juxtaposed with the Renaissance armour that inspired them.
