What's On November Emma Hamilton: Seduction and Celebrity Opens 3 November #emmahamilton An extraordinary woman in a man's world - our major new exhibition opens this week. The story of Emma Hamilton is one of female power and achievement, against all odds. Born into poverty in 1765, she rose to be a muse for famous artists, an influential ambassador’s wife, a European cultural icon and Nelson’s lover – before facing prison and dying in destitution. From rags to riches, and back again, follow her spectacular life through over 200 objects. What were the challenges faced by a woman of her time in the public eye, and how much has changed today? "No one in her time could resist Emma Hamilton, and nor will you " ★★★★★ Guardian Members go free Enjoy free entry to our special exhibitions, exclusive events, plus year-round entry to all our sites and planetarium shows.
