March Program with Wolf Burchard

“Nation of ShopKeepers”

The British design and decorative arts galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York highlight British entrepreneurism through furniture, silver, ceramics, tapestries, sculpture, and other artworks.

In this talk, Wolf Burchard will provide a virtual tour, discuss the galleries’ history, and share plans for future installations.

Wolf Burchard, Curator of the Met’s British Galleries, joined the museum in 2019. Previously, he served as Furniture Research Curator at the National Trust and Curatorial Assistant at the British Royal Collection. He holds an MA and PhD in art history from Courtauld Institute, London.
