This April, Croydon Town Hall opens its doors for a special series of talks exploring the hidden histories behind masterpieces from The National Gallery – now on display in Croydon as part of Art On Your Doorstep.
Across three evening lectures, leading historians, authors and curators will take a deep look at iconic paintings and the stories they carry.
