Oh my, The National Portrait Gallery, Canberra is beyond excited. Shakespeare to Winehouse: Icons from the National Portrait Gallery, London is open, right now!

Over 80 famous faces from across time and space are there and await your presence. That’s Shakespeare, Winehouse, Darwin, Dickens, the Beatles, Brontë sisters and Beckham. That’s Mandela, Malala, Churchill, Diana, Bowie, Sheeran, Westwood and others.

There’s fame, power, love, loss, innovation and the downright inspirational, all captured by iconic artists like Warhol, Hockney, Emin, van Dyck, Rubens and Freud.

If that wasn’t enough, the Gallery has got a lot going on around this British bonanza. From tours to talks, catalogues to concerts, food to froths, there’s something for everyone – and the Gallery can’t wait to share it all with you. So much so that the Gallery has extra daily exhibition tours on over the long weekend and every weekend in March.

This is absolutely a once-in-a-generation opportunity – showing exclusively with the Gallery – so keep calm and grab your ticket!
