Roger Mayne: Youth

14 June - 1 Sep

Acclaimed British photographer Roger Mayne (1929 – 2014) was famous for his evocative documentary images of young people growing-up in Britain in the mid-1950s and ‘60s. 

This exhibition, of around 60 almost exclusively vintage photographs, includes many of his iconic street images of children and teenagers, alongside an almost entirely unknown selection of intimate and moving later images of his own family at home in Dorset.

Tickets include entry to our permanent collection and displays. Friends and Under 18s go free.

Henry Moore (1898 –1986) was one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. This exhibition considers Moore’s celebrated Shelter drawings as the point of departure for a new reading of the artist’s fascination with images of walls, during and immediately after World War II.  

Presented in collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation.

Included with Gallery Entry. Friends, students and under 18s go free.

The brand-new Henry Moore exhibition catalogue is now available online and in-store at The Courtauld Shop.
