About Our Collections

From 2015 to 2024 the Centre organised a series of free, public displays in the Drawing Room at 16 Bedford Square. Many focussed on the Centre’s Archive & Library collections, showcasing our important holdings of art historical publications and art historians’ papers. Others looked at aspects of the Paul Mellon Centre’s work and history. All the displays were accompanied by a booklet. Digital copies of all of these are available via Issuu. Additionally, two displays were delivered online-only during the pandemic, and these can be found among the Collections in Focus features.
