An exhibition of the monochromatic works from the Britten and Pears Collection

Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears amassed over 1,200 works of art over their nearly 40 years together. This is a great opportunity to view many treasured works which are not often seen in public. Indeed, the art collection is rarely seen in its entirety, and only around 5% is usually on display in The Red House, library and studio.

Works by artists such as David Hockney, Josef Scharl, Sidney Nolan, Christian Rohlfs and Francis Newton Souza.
