The private tour of the Six Lives exhibition, led by historian and author of All the Queen’s Jewels Dr Nicola Tallis, will be followed by a talk highlighting the key pieces and how jewels were a vital tool that enabled queens to shape their identities as consorts and fashion images of power. Guests will be able to discuss further with Dr Tallis after the talk.
The exhibition chronicles the lives of Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr throughout history and pop culture and includes paintings from Hans Holbein and contemporary photography by Hiroshi Sugimoto.
Head of events at Fellows, Alexandra Whittaker, said: “I am delighted that we have been able to put together such an interesting programme for our guests. This is a truly one-of-a-kind event, combining Fellows’ specialist jewellery knowledge with exclusive, private access to an amazing exhibition and Dr Tallis’ expertise on the Tudor queens’ jewellery collections.”
Early bird tickets are priced at £200, which includes the tour, the talk, lunch in Mayfair, a signed copy of the exhibition book and a goody bag.
