Join us for a museum talk with Harley Foundation Director Bryony Bond ahead of our new museum display The World is Mine Oyster opening March 2026. Bryony will highlight some of her favourite objects from the current exhibition, and give you a sneak preview of what’s coming next.
Bryony joined the Harley Foundation in March 2025, bringing with her over two decades of experience in the arts.
She will touch on several objects including our presentation drawing Madonna del Silenzio by Michelangelo Buonarroti (pictured above), Charles I’s pearl earring, and our 17th century flemish tapestries – before telling you a little bit about some of the objects in our next display.
If you have accessibility requirements, please reach out to us on education@harleyfoundation.org.uk and we will do our best to accommodate you.
