Explore furniture, fashion, ceramics, sculpture, photographs, glass, metalwork, jewellery, textiles and paintings. Highlights include the Raphael Cartoons, Tipu's Tiger, and the medieval and Renaissance galleries. The headline 2026 exhibition is Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art (until 15 November), with more than 200 objects, from the Dalí Skeleton Dress to Daniel Roseberry's present-day couture. The historic Gamble, Poynter and Morris rooms of the café are architectural treasures in their own right.
